Following a foul on Alessia Russo in the box, Katie Zelem stepped up to fire home a penalty. An excellent move would see second-half substitute Lucia Garcia add ...
Martha Thomas’s late strike was parried away by the West Ham shot-stopper, but right into the path of our no.17 who made no mistake from close range – much to the delight of a buoyant Old Trafford. Our no.12 cushioned the ball beyond Arnold to add our third of the afternoon. We continued to pile the pressure on the visiting side, not allowing them a route out of their own half. Zelem stepped up to take it and eventually powered home – sending Arnold the wrong way – in front of a roaring Old Trafford. Russo was on the end of another great opportunity five minutes after the break, heading towards goal from Zelem’s corner but the ball went just over. It took around 20 minutes for them to do so, but West Ham grew into the game well and made life difficult for the Reds, but couldn’t convert their intricate play into a clear-cut chance on Mary Earps’s goal.

Player ratings from the WSL clash between Man Utd & West Ham at Old Trafford on Women's Football Weekend.
Marc Skinner - 7/10 - His team played with more tempo after the break. LW: Leah Galton - 7/10 - Made her 100th United appearance looking for another 'big stadium' goal. CM: Katie Zelem (c) - 8/10 - Sat deep in open to try and create, but also stopped West Ham playing. But was done by a Russo cutback moments after the restart to give away a penalty. The second goal shortly after the hour was the result of a higher tempo and more intensity in the press. Withdrawn not long into the second. Earps had to make a couple of late saves to preserve her clean sheet. With gaps opening up, Batlle got forward with purpose and laid the ball back to the Welsh midfielder, whose left footed finish nestled in the bottom corner. Russo fired just over with a bullet header, while Galton couldn’t stretch far enough to connect with a cross from the right. The atmosphere was much flatter than might have been expected for an occasion such as this, but the crowd united in their disapproval of referee Emily Heaslip’s decision not to award a penalty when Ladd went down from a Hawa Cissoko nudge. Again, cries from the crowd, again Heaslip was un-moved. The best of those openings saw Ona Batlle cross to Alessia Russo, whose side-footed volley missed the target from front and centre.

We need to stop making mistakes and need to be more ruthless especially in defence and when we go forward. "We knew that Manchester United were going to be strong throughout the game.
