"Manchester United and Arsenal both missed the chance to go top of the Women's Super League after a 0-0 draw at Leigh Sports Village. The teams had both won their opening two matches of the campaign, but neither could find a late winner to maintain their perfect starts. The in-form Melvine Malard started strongly, seeing a shot parried after just 35 seconds by Daphne van Domselaar, who also recovered from a spill to smother another attempt from the Frenchwoman shortly after."
"Arsenal came closest to breaking the deadlock in the 21st minute, as Olivia Smith's long-range strike was brilliantly tipped onto the crossbar by an acrobatic Phallon Tullis-Joyce stop. Caitlin Foord also fizzed wide as Arsenal ended the first half strongly, while Frida Maanum almost made an instant impact after her 68th-minute introduction, only to fire off-target, much to Tullis-Joyce's relief. United tried to make a grandstand finish, with Ella Toone trying her luck from range, only to curl wide of Van Domselaar's near post."
