## Summary

Elisabeth Terland’s late equaliser earned Manchester United a 1-1 derby draw with Manchester City, ending the defending champions’ perfect start to the Women’s Super League season. The result moved United to fourth and dropped City to second behind Chelsea on goal difference, tightening the title race.

Khadija Shaw had put City ahead with a low strike, her 91st WSL goal in her 100th appearance in the division. United had created chances before conceding and were judged by manager Eva Olid to have deserved the draw; their performance marked a clear improvement on two 3-0 league defeats by City last season. Elsewhere, Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 3-1 after falling behind, while London City Lionesses drew 2-2 with Liverpool.
