United twice took the lead but conceded immediately after scoring both times and then succumbed to a last-minute winner from four-time Bundesliga winner Katharina Baunach.
The Reds made one change from the 4-0 home win against Brighton last week, with Lauren James making way for Jane Ross to face her former side. The Scotland international was involved from the off and provided the assist for the opener inside a minute. The Reds won the ball high up and Ross delivered in a pinpoint cross to find Kirsty Hanson. Our No 18 leapt well to beat her marker to the ball and direct her header brilliantly back across goal and past West Ham goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan.
