Manchester United Women recorded their first win in the top flight with a comfortable 2-0 win over Liverpool at Leigh Sports Village.
An entertaining first half finished goalless, with United coming closest to breaking the deadlock. Anke Preuss produced a smart save from a Leah Galton effort to finish off a flowing Manchester United move, and Lauren James rattled the bar from a tight angle. Liverpool's sole threat was Rinsola Babajide, whose pace and power were causing Manchester United problems down the left hand side.
The second half saw the Red Devils begin to control proceedings. Preuss palmed a Katie Zelem free kick round the post, and was again called into action minutes later, swiftly coming out to thwart Dalton after a delightful Zelem pass.
