Grace Clinton’s stunning strike from 40 yards helped Manchester United to cross Aston Villa with a 4-0 win, holding the pace in the race for the first three WSL.
The international in England was captured by Sabrina D’Angelo from her line at the end of the first half while she curled the third goal of her husband UTD from the range.
However, there was an air of controversy about it while Clinton introduced Jill Baijings in construction, but a free kick was not given by the judge.
Aston Villa had every right to feel upset by the decision, but a third goal had been on the horizon. They were already 2-0 down thanks to the double of Elisabeth Terland – the first attempt before she smelled a great cross from Jayde Riviere at home.
Man Utd made it four shortly after the time Leah Galton produced Melvine Malaard’s Cross at home, with a deviation outside Lucy Parker along the way.

It was Marc Skinner’s perfect response after losing to Liverpool last weekend. Man UTD remains the third in WSL on the goal difference, the 39 -point level with Arsenal, and seven clear from Manchester City in the fourth after their loss to Chelsea earlier on Sunday.
