Key Moments and Implications
City opened the scoring within 17 minutes when Miedema headed in Greenwood's corner, then doubled the lead seconds later with another header from Casparij's cross. After the break, Casparij finished a swift counter-attack started by Miedema's pass to Hemp to make it 3-0. United had only two senior outfield players on the bench and had played a Champions League first leg against Bayern Munich just three days prior, while City welcomed back four Asian Cup representatives, three of whom started. The result leaves United's European hopes in peril and puts City 11 points clear at the top of the WSL table.
Vivianne Miedema stole the show as Manchester City ran riot at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, humbling Manchester United in a dominant 3-0 win to take one big step towards their first Women's Super League title in 10 years.
