As we stand, they will be moving up to third in the WSL. Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool The opening goal was Elisabeth Terland's fourth strike in the WSL this season. It takes her clear of Grace Clinton as United's top scorer in the league this season, and joint-third in the division overall. Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Leigh Sports Village A devastating two minutes for Manchester United! Those fans behind the goal are still singing Leah Galton's name and the winger jogged back to the halfway line, stopping to do a little jiggle dance, as she celebrated with team-mates in the dugout. Liverpool's staff were watching a replay of the second goal on the bench and manager Matt Beard stood up afterwards, flapping his arms and pacing around looking frustrated. Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool Sue Smith Former England international on Sky Sports What a strike this is from Leah Galton. She sees where the goalkeeper is and it's a powerful shot. But it was also a great ball to Galton. Liverpool will be so disappointed to concede two goals so close together like that. Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool A remarkable period of play, and United are in total command. They have now scored nine first half goals in the WSL this season, only Chelsea have more. Leah Galton (34 mins) Two in two minutes! United win the ball back virtually straight from kick off, and a long ball from the back turns the Liverpool defence around. Leah Galton streaks onto it, and hits a powerful shot that breaks through the hand of Teagan Micah and into the roof of the net. United delirious, Liverpool punch-drink. Elisabeth Terland (33 mins) Breakthrough! Liverpool are caught out playing out from the back, and Geyse's intial shot is blocked. The rebound falls to Elisabeth Terland, and she makes no mistake with a composed finish in off the far post. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool A goalless draw suits neither side today - United need a win to move into the top three, Liverpool need a win to create a gap to the relegation place. Geyse attempts to spark a move for United, but it tackled in the box by Ceri Holland who is up and moving fine after that knock to her ankle. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Leigh Sports Village Ceri Holland's injury gives both teams an opportunity to come across to speak to their coaching staff. United boss Marc Skinner hangs back initially while the players talk among themselves but comes in to answer a question from Gabby George. Liverpool assistant Scott Rogers is having a big conversation with defender Gemma Bonner, who seems to be frustrated. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Natasha Dowie Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live Geyse is a player who frustrates me. She won the league with Barcelona and came to Manchester United with a big reputation as someone who could be the next Alessia Russo with prolific goals. In my opinion, she hasn't delivered enough. You have to score and create more goals in that United shirt. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool We have a pause in play as Liverpool's Ceri Holland is down holding her right ankle. Matt Beard's side cannot afford too many injuries - they have just six players on the bench today due to numerous absences. #bbcfootball, via Whats App on 03301231826 or text 81111 (UK only, standard message rates apply What does Ashworth leaving mean for Skinner? Or January recruitment? I wonder if United are going to lose any more players on a free this summer. William Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Leigh Sports Village "What is going on? " Matt Beard screams at the fourth official as Liverpool felt they should have had a free-kick for a foul on Taylor Hinds. United ended up going straight up the other end and Elisabeth Terland really should have scored. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Natasha Dowie Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live Manchester United should have scored there. You got to hit the target from there. It's a big opportunity missed for the home side. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool United spurn their best opening so far. Geyse's cross from the right is missed by the heel of Leah Galton, but Elisabeth Terland makes a run around the left side and gets a shot in - well over the top. A good chance, missed. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Sue Smith Former England international on Sky Sports Fuka Nagano is such a key player for Liverpool. She is technically so good and reads the game very well. She was looking for that far corner with that shot there, but that is a good save from Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Leigh Sports Village It's a quieter afternoon at Leigh Sports Village with Storm Darragh presumably putting people off travelling this weekend. It means there are fewer fans behind the goal which Liverpool are currently defending and United are attacking. They have not had too much to cheer about. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool The first real save of note by either keeper is made by United's Phallon Tullis-Joyce, as Fuka Nagano shrugs off a tackle and fires a dipping effort that the goalie does well to save low to her right. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Natasha Dowie Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live It's great to see Leah Galton back. She's had some injuries that has kept her out this season and also the last. She's been so key for United over the years and when she's at her best, she's a real handful and a real threat. It's a big boost for United to have her back. Manchester United 0-0 Liverpool Grace Clinton has her first sight of goal, but her shot is a pea-roller into the arms of Teagan Micah.
