In a thrilling encounter at Leigh Sports Village, Manchester United secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, thanks to a stunning performance from new signing Elisabeth Terland. The Norwegian forward was the star of the show, netting two goals that propelled Marc Skinner’s side to second place in the league after just three matches.

Terland opened the scoring just before half-time, showcasing her striking prowess with a beautifully executed right-footed volley. She connected perfectly with a cross from Celin Bizet, sending the ball crashing in off the underside of the crossbar, leaving Spurs’ goalkeeper Becky Spencer with no chance.

Just six minutes later, Terland doubled her tally, sneaking in at the back post to nod home a well-placed delivery. This ensured United went into the break with a comfortable 2-0 lead.

The second half saw Maya Le Tissier, the United captain, add a third goal from the penalty spot. The opportunity arose when Ella Toone’s cross struck Ashleigh Neville’s arm, and Le Tissier made no mistake from 12 yards, putting the game beyond Spurs’ reach.

Despite the defeat, Robert Vilahamn’s Tottenham side showed glimpses of promise. They managed to dominate possession with 55% and registered 18 shots throughout the match—six more than their hosts. Drew Spence came close to finding the net with a dipping effort from distance that required a strong save from United’s Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

Spurs also created several chances, with neat interplay between Spence and Beth England setting up Martha Thomas for a golden opportunity. However, Tullis-Joyce was once again on hand to thwart the effort, demonstrating her importance to United’s defensive line.

England had a chance to make an impact when Thomas capitalised on a defensive lapse, but the striker squandered the opportunity, highlighting Spurs’ struggles in front of goal. Their inability to convert chances ultimately proved costly, as Manchester United capitalised on their profligacy to secure a well-deserved victory.

As the season progresses, both teams will be looking to build on their performances. United aims to maintain their strong start, while Spurs hope to find their rhythm in the coming weeks.
