Tottenham Women 0-4 Man Utd Women: Man Utd keep pace with WSL's top three

Melvine Malard scored two and assisted another as Manchester United picked up a 4-0 win at Tottenham, keeping them in touch with the WSL's top three.

The scoreline was perhaps harsh on Spurs, who have now conceded 11 goals in two games against the Manchester clubs. They play Arsenal twice over the next week too, including their WSL clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

The Gunners beat Chelsea 4-1 earlier in the day, and with Manchester City also winning on Saturday, the onus was on Man Utd to also take all three points.

It took a while for Marc Skinner's side to break Tottenham down, but Malard made the deftest of touches onto Hannah Blundell's cross (29) to see her side ahead.

Man Utd ran away with the game after the break. Malard picked out Toone (51) for the second, before rifling home another fine effort of her own (59).

Hayley Ladd had a big hand in setting up the third, but took the plaudits for goal of the evening with her own superb curling strike (84) to make sure of another away WSL victory.

It sees Man Utd just a point off Man City in third place and four behind Chelsea and Arsenal. Tottenham remain in sixth with 12 points.
