A late equaliser from Elisabeth Terland earned Manchester United a well-earned 1-1 draw that ended Manchester City’s perfect start to the WSL campaign.
City looked set for victory as Khadija Shaw finally broke the deadlock with a little over 20 minutes to go. However, it was Shaw who inadvertently set up Terland for the equaliser in the last minute of normal time.
Both teams came into the contest in good spirits. City had made a perfect start in their opening six WSL games, while United had been starting to click under Eva Olid.
It was the hosts who appeared more likely to find the opener following a tense first half. They were on top after the break, with Jess Park ratting the crossbar on the hour mark as they looked to make their dominance count.
Shaw had been having an uncharacteristically quiet evening, being heckled by home fans and marked out of the game by Maya Le Tissier in the first 45. She targeted Dominique Janssen when the game resumed and the switch paid off.
The PFA Player of the Year backed into the Dutch defender before turning and firing through her legs to find the bottom corner and give City the lead against the run of play on her 100th WSL appearance.
It was a bitter blow for the Red Devils, whose hard work looked set to be unrewarded. That was until Shaw’s tame clearance from a deep Le Tissier cross fell to the feet of Terland, who dispatched perfectly to snatch a share of the spoils.
The result means that City only go level on points with Chelsea at the top, but fall behind Sonia Bompastor’s side on goal difference following their come-from-behind win against Crystal Palace.
