'On corners for the derby?' - Man Utd fans react as Katie Zelem scores TWICE direct from a corner

Manchester United fans have been sharing their reactions after Katie Zelem scored twice directly from a corner.

United Women's captain scored two second half corners within just four minutes to ensure the Reds eased to victory against Leicester City. Martha Thomas and Alessia Russo had already given United a two goal cushion before Zelem's heroics.

It was not even the first time this week the 26-year-old had scored direct from a corner. In United's loss to Manchester City in the FA Women's Cup, Zelem also found the back of the net directly from a corner.

The result at Leigh Sports Village was much needed for Marc Skinner's women who had suffered a humiliating defeat in the Manchester derby last time out. United's 4-0 victory sees them sit third in the Women's Super League table, six points behind leaders Arsenal.

Next up for United is an away trip to Reading in the league. Take a look below at how fans reacted on Twitter to Zelem's extraordinary feat.
