Man United thump Villa, leaders Chelsea beat Man City in Women's Super League

LONDON: Manchester United hammered hapless Aston Villa 4-0 in the Women’s Super League on Sunday while Erin Cuthbert’s stoppage-time winner for Chelsea against Manchester City kept the Londoners comfortably clear at the top of the table.

With five of the 22 league games left to play, Chelsea is in pole position on 47 points, eight ahead of Arsenal in second and third-placed Manchester United, and 15 ahead of Manchester City, which is fourth.

Manchester United went into Sunday’s late kickoff knowing it needed a win to stay in touch with the top two, and Norwegian striker Elisabeth Terland did her best to ease its nerves with two goals in the opening 31 minutes.

Grace Clinton added a third at the stroke of halftime and Leah Galton grabbed a fourth after the break as United cruised to a victory that kept their title hopes alive following Arsenal’s 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool on Saturday.

Earlier in the afternoon, Chelsea came storming back from a goal down as it faced Manchester City for the third game in a row, with Scotland international Cuthbert netting a diving header to snatch all three points for the Londoners. IANS
