Manchester City were victorious in the first WSL Manchester derby as they ran out 1-0 winners over Manchester United on Saturday.
United started the game brightly and created the first clear cut opportunity of the game after 23 minutes. Leah Galton delivered an accurate cross into the path of Jane Ross, but the United striker was unable to divert the ball beyond Ellie Roebuck, who produced a stunning save to keep the scores level.
That saved proved to be vital as, shortly after the interval, City took the lead in spectacular style. Caroline Weir picked the ball up well outside the 18-yard-box and proceeded to slam the ball into the top corner, leaving Mary Earps grasping at thin air.
