WSL: Liverpool dig deep to leapfrog Manchester United | OneFootball

It’s going down to the wire in the Women’s Super League with only two matchdays remaining.

Here’s what went down on Sunday across England.

Liverpool edge past Man Utd

Scorer: Clark 45+3′

A huge rivalry took place in Liverpool as the Reds managed to scrape by Manchester United in their final home match of the season.

Tied on points it was always gong to be a nervy affair and there appeared to be more challenges than true chances. Ceri Holland, in particular, kept Mary Earps on her toes.

Things then took a negative and positive turn for the hosts just before the break.

After Emma Koivisto was slammed into the advertising boards, manager Matt Beard shared his frustrations about the challenge with the referee and was shown red.

Yet even without their boss, the Reds managed to find a breakthrough when Jenna Clark’s header finally beat Earps.

Manchester United made a handful of changes after the break to try and find an equaliser, however, the introduction of Melvine Malard, Hayley Ladd, and others couldn’t inspire.

Goalkeeper Teagan Micah was forced to make a late save on Malard, but the visitors still finished with just three shots on target.

The result means Liverpool leapfrogged Manchester United into fourth with one match to go for both.
