What happened. Manchester United beat West Ham 2-1 at Leigh Sports Village to claim their first WSL win of the season. Elisabeth Terland headed in early and Andrea Medina made it 2-0, before Viviane Asseyi's late penalty pulled one back.

• United had taken just one point from their first three league games.
• Hammers keeper Constance Picaud made several saves, including tipping a Lundkvist header over.
• Asseyi scored from the spot after Sandberg tripped her.

The win lifts United after a slow start, while West Ham's search for points continues.
