Manchester United Women suffered a heavy loss to Manchester City Women, with Miedema's double strike leaving United trailing in the league. The match started poorly for United, with Miedema's early effort drawing a smart save from Tullis-Joyce. Awujo had United's first chance, but her shot went wide of the post. City's pressure paid off when Hemp struck the crossbar, and Miedema headed in the opener from a corner. Things got worse for United when Miedema scored her second, and Casparij added a third after the break. Malard came closest to scoring for United, but her efforts were in vain. Skinner brought on Anderson and Drury, and George made her 50th appearance, but it was not enough to change the outcome. The loss leaves United 11 points behind City, and they must now focus on their Champions League tie against Bayern Munich.
