Man utd vs Liverpool

Manchester United Women moved into second in the WSL after a comprehensive 6-0 victory over Liverpool, in front of a record Leigh Sports Village crowd for ...

Despite our opposition enjoying more spells of possession, we showed our clinical edge just after the hour mark to score a fourth of the game. Williams, five minutes after coming onto the pitch, completed the scoring with a towering header at the back post. Batlle was involved yet again, lifting a sublime cross into the back post where our no.12 was waiting. United’s no.9 wasted no time in getting involved, scoring just two minutes after being brought on, finishing off a peach of a pass from Toone. A wonderfully crafted move from Skinner’s side saw Batlle pick the ball up down the right before fizzing it into the path of fellow Spaniard Garcia, whose first-time effort took a fortunate deflection off Gemma Bonner to give us the lead. Ladd intercepted the ball deep in the Liverpool half, where Toone was alert to it. Beard’s side approached with intent, chasing down the ball and putting United’s backline under pressure. For all Liverpool’s efforts in the second half, Emma Koivisto’s own goal on the hour mark helped us get further control of the game. Mary Earps had it covered, though, as her effort went just over the bar. The midfielder was quick to play in Russo, and our no.23 took her shot on the turn to catch Rachael Laws off guard and put us two to the good. In the latter stages of the game, goalscorer Ladd turned creator after nicking the ball back on the edge of Liverpool’s area before lifting a ball into the box. Minutes later, however, the Reds were in front.

Manchester United dominate Liverpool upon the return of the Women's Super League with a 6-0 win in front of a record crowd at Leigh Sports Village.

Her one-two play with Blundell was enjoyable to watch, often right the way up the pitch - not to forget the bicycle kick that was blocked by a white shirt. Nikita Parris - Proved too much to handle cutting in and out of the back line getting the better of Emma Koivisto. Kept running at the back line, difficult to intercept and ran her socks off, with sneaky outside-the-boot touches laying the ball off to Batlle, Toone and Russo. Seemed a little drowned out of the middle of the park with four Liverpool shirts to United’s two struggling to always be available. Ella Toone - High press from the whistle, Toone sprinted down every ball across that back line and even to close goalkeeper Rachael Laws. Liverpool did gain some momentum in the second half and threw in big tackles worthy of a derby rivalry, but to no avail.

But United increased their lead not long past the hour mark. It took four minutes for a lead to be established. Striker Thomas side-footed past Laws from Toone's whipped ball into the box, before Williams scored with a header in the aftermath of a free-kick six minutes before the end.

Maria Thorisdóttir (Manchester United Women) right footed shot from outside the box is blocked. Hayley Ladd (Manchester United Women) left footed shot from the centre of the box is saved in the centre of the goal. “I apologise for the performance to the fans. Rachel Williams (Manchester United Women) right footed shot from the centre of the box misses to the right. Attempt blocked. And perform his side did. Rachel Williams (Manchester United Women) left footed shot from the centre of the box is too high. Absolutely, certainly we want to.” “It’s very important we try and maximise our potential,” Skinner said. Do we want to?

United flourish in their first game back in 2023 while Liverpool are left to pick up the pieces and apologise to travelling fans.

“And I think that summed the day up for me perfectly, in that one moment. “No pun intended I genuinely mean this we were at a six [out of ten] today, and that wasn’t the very best form for us. The hosts enjoyed a large majority of the possession at Leigh Sports Village making over double the amount of passes and five times as many shots at goal. A side that was frankly sick of ball chasing entwined with a loss of will to show up. Seven Manchester United players have run past four, five of mine and Mel’s on her own. “We said before the game there are two words: 'Take control'.
