Manchester United striker Elisabeth Terland scored a late equaliser to knock visitor Manchester City off the top spot in the Women’s Super League table on Sunday evening as a hotly contested derby finished 1-1 at the Leigh Sports Ground.
Reigning champion City dropped points for the first time this season, allowing Chelsea to go top on goal difference after it came back from a goal down to beat Crystal Palace 3-1 earlier in the day.
Chelsea and City both have 19 points, with London City Lionesses third on 16 and Manchester United fourth on 11.
Making her 100th WSL appearance, Bunny Shaw gave City the lead in the 66th minute, brushing off the challenge of Dominique Janssen and rattling a shot into the far corner to break the deadlock and silence the home fans, who booed and heckled her throughout.

On Merseyside, Liverpool’s Jana Fernandez Velasco struck deep into stoppage time to snatch a 2-2 draw at home to London City.

Charlton Athletic’s miserable run continued as it slumped to its seventh straight defeat. Substitute Wilma Leidhammar scored the only goal of the game for Birmingham City in the 68th minute to leave Charlton still firmly rooted to the bottom of the table and searching for its first point of the season.
