Manchester United Women climbed to fourth in the Barclays Women's Super League today after a dominant 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace at Leigh Sports Village. The win saw Maya Le Tissier mark her 150th club appearance with a stunning opening goal.
Le Tissier's powerful strike from around 25 yards gave United the lead in a first half where they were largely on the front foot. Despite United's 22 shots, only three were on target, allowing Palace to remain in contention for a period.
However, United secured their win when Hinata Miyazawa and Jess Park combined to set up Elisabeth Terland for a clinical finish. Crystal Palace, who remain 11th in the WSL, did not manage to test United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce during the match.
