That’s all from me! I’ll leave you with Tom Garry’s match report from Old Trafford. Thanks for reading! Have a great day! The WSL action continues tomorrow with three big fixtures. Vivianne Miedema returns to north London with new club Manchester City to face former side Arsenal. WSL debutants Crystal Palace travel across the capital to face Tottenham. And last season’s fourth-place finishers Liverpool face Leicester City. Arsenal vs Manchester City Tottenham vs Crystal Palace Liverpool vs Leicester City Elsewhere, Brighton have just cruised to a 4-0 win over Everton at the Broadfield Stadium. Kiko Seike was the star of the show having scored a hat-trick, with Fran Kirby getting the fourth from the penalty start. The day was made even worse for Brian Sørensen’s side when Aurora Galli was forced off with what looked to be a serious knee injury. Brighton top the WSL table for now on goal difference. Here’s a look at Grace Clinton’s second-half header which made it 3-0 to United… Manchester United deservedly take all three points at Old Trafford following a dominant display. West Ham had a few rare chances but ultimately failed to make the most of them. If Marc Skinner’s side can maintain that level of performance throughout the season, they will certainly be in contention for a Champions League spot. Full-time: Manchester United 3-0 West Ham A fantastic performance sees Manchester United take all three points at Old Trafford. 90+3 min: The hosts have a late corner as Zadorsky makes a challenge on Bizet. The ball is crossed into the box, but West Ham can clear with ease. 90 min: Five minutes have been added on… 88 min: She has not been busy in the slightest this afternoon, but Tullis-Joyce is forced into a fantastic save. Mewis sends a curling cross into the box and the goalkeeper has to react late to keep it from creeping into the bottom-left corner. 85 min: The substitutions are coming thick and fast at Old Trafford. West Ham are next. Gorry has been replaced by Marika Bergman-Lundin. 83 min: Another two changes for Manchester United as Clinton makes way for Hinata Miyazawa. Gabby George has also entered the pitch to replace Galton. 80 min: Another two changes for United. Rachel Williams comes on to replace Terland, who has been a huge attacking threat for the hosts. Meanwhile, Janssen makes way for Simi Awujo. 77 min: And just like that, West Ham have a huge opportunity! Mewis receives the ball in midfield and sends a long pass to Gorry in the box. The midfielder goes up to head it alongside Turner, but it falls directly to her feet in front of goal. She finds herself with a clear shot at the target, but fires her effort way over the crossbar! 75 min: I can’t say the last 10 minutes or so have been too thrilling. Manchester United are simply trying to see out the final 15 minutes, with West Ham desperately trying to win the ball in the opposition half. 73 min: Another substitution for West Ham. Asseyi has been replaced by Manuela Pavi for the final 20 minutes of the match. 70 min: The hosts are looking very comfortable now, with West Ham struggling to keep up. 67 min: Substitution for Manchester United now as Celin Bizet makes her Old Trafford debut. She replaces Geyse, who opened the scoring in the first half. An impressive performance from the Brazilian. 65 min: Saez is penalised for a heavy challenge on Terland. West Ham appear to be growing more and more frustrated. 62 min: Marc Skinner must be thrilled with his team’s performance. Bar a few shaky moments, Manchester United have completely dominated this game and are now in cruise control with just under 30 minutes to play. 59 min: Following that head injury, Harries has been replaced by Seraina Piubel. Shelina Zadorsky has also been introduced for Li Mengwen as West Ham push to get back into this match. 57 min: A brief pause in play now as Harries receives treatment following a clash with Tullis-Joyce. The winger went down holding her head, but she is fully conscious. 54 min: A failed clearance from Gorry falls straight to the feet of Naalsund. The midfielder crosses the ball to Clinton in the box, who glances her header into the bottom-right corner. Not the typical celebration from the midfielder, especially considering the occasion. Standing completely still with both hands raised straight in the air. Must admit though, I rate it. GOAL! Manchester United 3-0 West Ham (Clinton, 53) Clinton makes it three with her first WSL goal for United! 52 min: West Ham are desperately trying to play forward, but they are struggling to break into the final third with United dominating the midfield. 49 min: Manchester United have a free kick in a dangerous position following a foul on Toone from Denton. Toone crosses the ball towards the edge of the six-yard box, but Ueki heads it behind for a corner. The visitors can eventually clear the set-piece. 47 min: West Ham made one substitution at the break, with Kristie Mewis introduced to replace Brynjarsdóttir. Kick-off: Manchester United 2-0 West Ham We’re back under way at Old Trafford! Elsewhere in the WSL today, Brighton host Everton at the Broadfield Stadium.
