United targeted Yui Hasegawa in the City midfield, permitting her no time in possession. City were unable to cope with United’s energy as they desperately tried to rid themselves of the memory of defeat at Wembley last weekend, while keen to take the title race to the final day. There was a record attendance for a United women’s match at Leigh and the raucous home fans had plenty to cheer about within two minutes City failed to clear the ball properly twice, allowing it to land at Hayley Ladd’s feet 20 yards from goal from where she picked her spot in the top corner to beat an unmoved Roebuck.Ĭity were barely in the match in the opening stages before five minutes had elapsed United could have scored three times.
