Manchester United beat Liverpool 1-0 in the WSL — The Guardian
Manchester United defeated Liverpool 1-0 in a Women's Super League match. Julia Zigiotti Olme scored the only goal in the sixth minute: she intercepted a pass from Liverpool goalkeeper Kiara Keating and chipped the ball into the net.
Goal after the goalkeeper's mistake
For Eva Olid's team, this was their second consecutive league victory. After an unsuccessful start under the new head coach, Manchester United have secured four consecutive wins in all competitions and are unbeaten in five matches, The Guardian reports.
The match was Manchester United's 250th since the team was re-established in 2018. In the first half, Liverpool had chances to equalise: Phallon Tullis-Joyce saved Cornelia Kapocs' shot and then prevented Beata Olsson from scoring on the rebound.

Missed chances
Before the break, Jess Park hit the crossbar with a shot from outside the penalty area. Keating then saved Andrea Medina's effort. Liverpool had their best chance to level the score around 20 minutes before the final whistle, when Jenna Clark was left unmarked at a corner, but failed to direct her header on target.
After this result, Manchester United are level with Liverpool on points in the WSL. Both teams are three points behind the European places.
