Rachel Williams revitalised Manchester United’s title charge by sending her team to the top of the Women’s Super League with an 87th-minute strike launched into the roof of the net to kill off a resilient Reading.
“Rachel might feel vindicated,” the United manager, Marc Skinner, said of the forward who began the game as a substitute. “There were sections that didn’t really understand why Rachel was brought in; proof in action. We answer on the field.”
