Manchester United Women Top WSL with 5-1 London City Win, Chelsea’s Kerr Scores Comeback Goal

Manchester United Women secured a commanding 5-1 victory over newcomers London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League, with Melvine Malard scoring twice and captain Maya Le Tissier netting on her 100th appearance. United took an early lead through a Le Tissier penalty and extended their advantage with goals from Jayde Riviere, Malard's brace, and Jess Park, while London City's Nikita Parris scored a consolation goal. This win puts Manchester United at the top of the WSL standings with six points from two games, sharing the highest goal tally with Arsenal. Meanwhile, Chelsea also won 3-1 against Aston Villa, highlighted by Sam Kerr's goal on her return after a 20-month injury layoff. Leicester City defeated Liverpool 1-0 despite playing with ten players after a red card, continuing Liverpool's poor start to the season. Arsenal and Manchester City also recorded victories in other league matches, maintaining competitive momentum early in the season.
