🚨 WSL: Terland double sees Man Utd deliver straightforward win over Spurs

After Arsenal suffered defeat at the hands of Chelsea on Saturday, the other ten WSL sides are in action today.

Here’s what happened.


Terland shines as Man Utd see off Tottenham

Scorers: Terland 44′, 45+4′, Le Tissier 59′ (PEN)

Manchester United are still yet to concede a goal in the WSL, as they served up a 3-0 win over Tottenham.

Spurs controlled the bulk of the play in the early stages, with Manchester United content to hit the away side on the counter-attack.

Grace Clinton went closest from one of those breaks, her left-footed shot forcing an excellent save from Becky Spencer.

Just before the half-time whistle blew, Celin Bizet found herself in plenty of space down the right-hand side and put a dangerous ball into the box, allowing Elisabeth Terland to net her first for Man Utd with a superb volley that hit the underside of the crossbar and went in. .

And in added time Man Utd doubled their lead with almost a carbon copy of their first when a through ball from Clinton fed Bizet on the right, and her cross to the far post was headed home by Terland as she completed her brace.

Things went from bad to worse for Spurs when Ashleigh Neville blocked an Ella Toone cross with her hand and the home side were awarded a penalty.

It looked like Toone might take it, but instead skipper Maya Le Tissier stepped up and side footed it into the bottom right-hand corner with ease.


Still to come…
