Man Utd maintained their WSL title charge as they eased to a 3-0 win against Tottenham, who remain in relegation danger.
Marc Skinner’s side looked largely comfortable throughout in opening a six-point lead at the top ahead of their rivals’ games later in the day, and it was the perfect warm-up for their first major domestic final against Chelsea in the FA Cup next weekend.
Leah Galton capitalised on a mistake from former Man Utd defender Amy Turner to slot home the opener (32). Three minutes later, Alessia Russo (35) doubled the lead with a fine volley, with Galton and Russo now level on 10 goals for the season.
Nikita Parris rounded off the victory shortly after the break (53) to open a healthy lead over rivals.
“The reality is we have to win our games… We know what we’ve got to do. I’m pretty relaxed about it,” Man Utd manager Marc Skinner told Terryanews after the game.
“I’m going to go home after this and until we play Man City [in the WSL on May 21], I don’t need to look at it. It’s all about us, we’ll focus on us and I won’t let anything deviate from that.”
