Manchester City v Manchester United: Women's Super League – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Will Manchester United finally get their first WSL win over their rivals? Join Tom Bassam to find out.

9 min: United clear the initial corner but as the ball is hoisted back in it all gets a bit messy on the edge of box. The Jamaican striker gets to the byline on the City right and pulls the ball back for Chloe Kelly, but Hannah Blundell nips in at the key moment. City have been WSL force for far longer than United, but this season there is a growing sense that the red side side of Manchester can truly challenge. 4 min: There is a smart turn from Toone just inside the City half but her through ball towards Russo lacks precision an is easily cut out. This time she drives forward to the edge of the City box but her shot is a poor one and dribbles wide. Toone cuts the ball back to her teammate from the left-hand side of the box, Galton’s shot gets a handy deflection to beat Roebuck. It is a lovely goal for United as Toone combines with Galton to drive into the City box. Robeuck flaps at the resulting ball into the box but City are able to clear. 62 min: It is all United after that City bolt from the blue. 64 min: Moment of danger for United as Kelly’s cross drifts over the outstretched arm of Earps and just wide. The striker shifts the ball between her feet to make room for a shot which is just wide Roebuck’s right post. Again the United nips in ahead of the forward on halfway as PA announced a record WSL attendance at the Etihad, more than 44,000 fans in today.

Man City Women vs Manchester United - live WSL updates (Manchester Evening News)

Manchester City Women welcome Man Utd to the Etihad on Sunday and we'll bring you live updates from the WSL derby.

Laia Aleixandri - Fantastic calm footwork to turn out of trouble in the United box to create a chance for Kelly early on. Despite being a maestro in long balls she kept it short and snappy in the first half, a genuine solid performance at the back. Defensively she was strong as always with a top-notch performance but also in attack she was happy to drive into the City box shoulder to shoulder with towering Ouahabi. Came out to collect a high ball in the second half but missed it. Ellie Roebuck - She collected the ball well but was beaten by the big deflection for the goal. A confident performance that she grew into as the game progressed. And nicked the ball from Toone's feet in her area minutes later. Mary Earps - Her communication heard over a 44,000 crowd instilled confidence in her back four, demanding Blundell “stay on the ball” early into the game. Kerstin Casparij - Just quality on City’s right flank, she wasn’t afraid to get involved with Kelly in attack. Shaw has been prolific again for the Blues after enjoying an outstanding first season at the club last term. Hannah Blundell - Incredible first-half performance against Kelly and Casparij, she was involved at both ends. She couldn’t do anything from Coombs’ free header as it bounced into the back of her net.

Manchester City vs. Manchester United - Football Match Report ... (ESPN.co.uk)

Manchester City salvaged a derby day point in the Women's Super League thanks to a stooping header from Laura Coombs after Leah Galton opened the scoring ...

We win all our games in the second half of the season and we can win the league. The United defence that has looked so composed this season so far suddenly began to wobble as the hosts looked for a winning goal, with Kelly coming close after the hour. With the chances still flying in into stoppage time, United had a legitimate claim for a penalty waved away after Alex Greenwood appeared to handle the ball in the area -- but both teams cancelled each other out. "I'm frustrated with the result but not the performance," United boss Marc Skinner said. The visitors began to control the match, pulling the home defence out of position while remaining hard to break down. Following some neat interplay with Ella Toone, Galton pulled the trigger from inside the box, the ball deflecting off Alex Greenwood to wrong-foot City goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck.

Skinner praises mindset of 'different' United (Manchester United)

Manchester United Women head coach Marc Skinner was thrilled with the way his team stood firm to earn an away point against Manchester City.

“We’ve got Sheffield United next before Christmas,” he said. And so all credit to the players in the first part of the year, and we’ve got lots of work to do in the next part of the year.” “Every game we grow. “This Manchester United is different. “They’re coming off not feeling ‘we’ve defended for our lives,’” continued Marc. We were very disappointed with the goal we conceded.

Women's Super League mid-season report: How Chelsea, Arsenal ... (Sky Sports)

With Chelsea leading the way as the league halts for its mid-season winter break, Sky Sports reporter Anton Toloui assesses which Womens Super League clubs ...

A large part of that is down to missing two of the league's very best in Kim Little and Beth Mead. Chelsea only dropped ten points during the entirety of last season, Man City have already dropped eight and there are 13 games to go. Hayes is back on the touchline, players are signing long-term contracts and they have the deepest squad in the league. Never mind looking for their first WSL title since 2016, City are outside the Champions League places at Christmas for the second year running. The biggest signatures United can secure in 2023 are soon-to-be out-of-contract pair Alessia Russo and Ona Battle. Chelsea took care of business against Leicester that weekend, as United stole a march on Arsenal to stun a record-breaking crowd inside the Emirates. So, we have Chelsea, with their noses in front, followed by Arsenal, United and then Manchester City. That's to say, they have faint, but discernible, weaknesses. The two sequences were exposing. The very next phase, another Reading attack, was more revealing still. That's not to suggest Chelsea have hit self-destruct, far from it. But not on this occasion.
