WSL round up: McCabe's Arsenal go top of the table

Katie McCabe's Arsenal continued their perfect start to the Women's Super League season with a 4-0 win at bottom side Leicester to move top of the table.

Frida Maanum, Caitlin Foord and Steph Catley all found the net in the first half to give the visitors a commanding lead, with Catley scoring directly from a 38th-minute corner.

Stina Blackstenius completed the rout early in the second half as Jonas Eidevall’s side completed a sixth straight win and a 14th consecutive league victory in a run dating back to last season.

Manchester United had the chance to regain top spot in the day’s late game against Chelsea, but it was the defending champions who won 3-1 at Leigh Sports Village.

Sophie Ingle set up Sam Kerr to open the scoring on the hour mark after United lost possession deep inside their own half and the Australian turned provider three minutes later, picking out Lauren James to sidefoot home.

Alessia Russo pulled a goal back with 20 minutes remaining but Erin Cuthbert’s deflected stoppage-time goal put the result beyond doubt and left Chelsea second on goal difference.

Two own goals from Reading captain Emma Mukandi handed Manchester City a 3-0 victory at the Select Car Leasing Stadium.

After 53 minutes Lauren Hemp played a one-two with Bunny Shaw on the edge of the area and fired a square ball across the box which Mukandi diverted into her own net.

Seven minutes later, Hemp’s cross was pushed away by goalkeeper Jacqueline Burns but ricocheted off Mukandi into the net, with Shaw’s 76th-minute header from Mary Fowler’s cross wrapping up the points.

Diane Caldwell play the full match for the hosts.
