The impressive the campaign of the Manchester United Barclays Female Super League continued with a 3-1 victory on Crystal Palace at Leigh Sports Village this afternoon.
Elisabeth Terland scored a splint while Grace Clinton was also on the target while the Red Devils saw the threat of the League background club.
Terland opened the scoring for Manchester United after nine minutes. After an error in the visit of the goalkeeper Milla-Maj Majasaari, Hinata Miyazawa hit the ball perfectly in Terland who pierced him in the lower right corner of the net.
The attacker almost had the opportunity to get the second Red Devils. She had possession on the edge of the box but was tackled on the ground and the ball was captured by Majasaari. Leah Galton then made an impressive impression on the left side and whispered a low delivery to Terland whose effort struck the post.
After maintaining the scoring with one goal, Crystal Palace found an equalizer just before half-time by Mille Gejl. Lily Woodham pushed the ball on the back line of Manchester United and Gejl loaded in the box and pulled its efforts beyond Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
The hosts had the opportunity to take the lead again while Majasaari left the net open for a Terland shot, but the ball passed right after the post.
A moment of chaos in the box then saw Majassari overthrow the ball to Leah Galton, who tried his luck to the goal, but his effort was caught by the Crystal Palace goalkeeper before Ella Toone was refused by Allyson Swaby.
After showing a lot of patience, Manchester United finally obtained his second goal via Terland. Clinton’s pass has deviated from my cato and the ball fell into Terlanders. The attacker continued to shoot in front of the goalkeeper.
Cato then saw a shot cleared up from the line while Crystal Palace was looking for a second equalizer before Manchester United ensures victory through Clinton. She added her name to the match sheet when she sent a loop head in the net from a free kick.
Manchester United is going back to action after the international break when they welcome Leicester City while Crystal Palace has a home match against Liverpool.
