Manchester United beat Arsenal 1-0 to go four points clear in the Women’s Super League, but the match was overshadowed by an injury to England captain Leah Williamson. Alessia Russo, who was pursued by Arsenal in the January transfer window, scored the only goal of the game on the stroke of half-time after she was set up by former Gunner Nikita Parris. Ad Marc Skinner’s side held on in the second half to earn a valuable three points and stretch their advantage over Chelsea at the top of the table.
