After Chelsea’s 1-0 victory over Aston Villa on the opening night, four more clubs got their Women’s Super League season under way on Saturday.
Here’s what happened.
Scorers: Geyse 28′, Galton 45+3′, Clinton 53′
Manchester United put on a show for their fans at Old Trafford with an emphatic victory over West Ham to open the season.
United took the lead midway through the first half, when Brazilian forward Geyse showed great strength and composure to hold off a defender and finish at the near post.
The hosts then made it 2-0 in first half stoppage time, with Leah Galton opening her account for the season with a cracking finish.
United increased their lead early in the second half through Grace Clinton, when she headed home unmarked in the box.
Scorers: Seike 29′
Kiko Seike had already impressed on her Seagulls debut before she opened the scoring midway through the first half with an outrageous long-range chip.
