Manchester United take WSL title race to the wire with dramatic derby winner
Manchester United take WSL title race to the wire with dramatic derby winner
Manchester United scored a stoppage-time winner against 10-woman Manchester City to take the Women’s Super League title fight down to the final day. Chelsea had put the pressure on their rivals as first-half goals from Guro Reiten and skipper Magda Eriksson earned them a 2-0 home win over Arsenal earlier in the day and a five-point advantage. The Blues have reeled in previous leaders United and Marc Skinner’s side knew only a first WSL derby victory against their city rivals would be enough to take the fight to the final day next weekend. Hayley Ladd fired in a long-range shot in only the second minute to give the hosts the lead and City were reduced to 10 players just before half-time when goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck brought down Nikita Parris. But Filippa Angeldahl’s attempted cross flew over Mary Earps for an equaliser in the 68th minute, and City came close to winning it before Lucia Garcia poked in United’s second in the first minute of added time. Earlier, Reiten put Chelsea ahead with a 22nd-minute strike before Eriksson - who earlier in the week had announced she will be leaving the club at the end of the season - added a finish just before the break. Katie McCabe had the chance to pull a goal back with a penalty on the hour but put it wide. Emma Hayes’ side can clinch a fourth successive title with victory over bottom side Reading next Saturday while United - who have clinched Champions League qualification for the first time - face Liverpool. Defeats for Arsenal and fourth-placed City mean the Gunners stay three points clear - with a much better goal difference - in the race for the third Champions League qualifying spot. The relegation fight will go to the final match of the season after Leicester were beaten 2-1 by West Ham. Leicester could have relegated Reading with victory but Sophie Howard’s own goal put the Hammers ahead and Dagny Brynjarsdottir made it two with a spot-kick. Ruby Mace was shown her second yellow card for the Foxes in added time but there was still time for Hannah Cain to pull one back from the penalty spot. Rachel Daly extended her lead over Khadija Shaw in the race for the Golden Boot with another goal in Aston Villa’s 3-3 draw with Liverpool. Kirsty Hanson put Villa ahead in the seventh minute and the sides went into half-time level after Katie Stengel and Natasha Dowie scored in quick succession for Liverpool prior to Daly’s goal. Stengel then put Liverpool ahead again in the 62nd minute but Hanson equalised eight minutes later. Everton, who are assured of finishing above their city rivals in sixth, defeated Brighton 2-1. Hanna Bennison scored an added-time winner after Brighton’s Katie Robinson had cancelled out Katja Snoeijs’ opener.

Pep Guardiola says Arsenal ‘took us to our limits’ and targets Champions League
Pep Guardiola says Arsenal ‘took us to our limits’ and targets Champions League
Pep Guardiola insisted Manchester City’s latest Premier League title success should not be demeaned by suggestions Arsenal ‘bottled it’ in the run-in. Yet the City boss conceded his side would need to go on to win the Champions League to be regarded among the greats. City were confirmed as English champions for a fifth time in six years and a third season in succession after Arsenal lost to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Gunners had led City by eight points as recently as last month but their form deserted them at a crucial stage. Guardiola, however, paid tribute to his former assistant Mikel Arteta’s team after City celebrated their triumph with a 1-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday. Guardiola said: “There’s a tendency to underestimate. They are winners. “We pushed Arsenal but they are exceptional. They should be proud of where they have come from. They have to sustain it, that is the reality, but for me they are winners. They should be proud of where they have come from. They have to sustain it, that is the reality, but for me they are winners Pep Guardiola on Arsenal “They made me think a lot what I had to do to beat them, and they did it to us. Our relentlessness and not giving up, and having the feeling that we had to win otherwise it would not be possible, helped us a lot. “With the relationship I have with Mikel – congratulations for what they’ve done. He’s brought them back to what Arsenal was in the past. “Similar to Liverpool in previous seasons, they took us to our limits.” City hope the Premier League will prove the first leg of a glorious treble, with the FA Cup and Champions League finals to follow next month. Guardiola, who won the European competition twice as Barcelona manager, said: “We have the feeling we have done something exceptional in terms of the Premier League, but of course to be considered one of the greatest in Europe we have to win the Champions League. “Otherwise people will say our time here is not complete.” City have now won 12 Premier League games in succession in their charge to the title but Guardiola denied that would make their latest title win more special than the others. Of course to be considered one of the greatest in Europe we have to win the Champions League Pep Guardiola He said: “I’d not say it is more important. The Premier Leagues have been so tight, so this is not more special than the others. Every one is.” Chelsea’s interim manager Frank Lampard, whose side were beaten by an early Julian Alvarez strike, believes his side can learn a lot from the champions. The Stamford Bridge side’s season has been a huge disappointment, with a top-10 finish beyond them, but Lampard admits a huge amount has to change for them to even get close to their rivals. “Man City have not won three in a row through trotting out at half-intensity. To get to this level where you are lifting trophies there is a lot of work,” he said. “Everyone’s personal responsibility is ‘if I want to get to be like (Erling) Haaland and (Kevin) De Bruyne I need to put in the work those boys have put in’. “It is in their hands. I can’t say that how long it will take, it is down to the players, the direction of the club. To get where Manchester City are a lot of things have to align. “There is clearly talent in the squad, young talent, maybe a lack of stability and imbalance and they are maybe club issues.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live ‘Unstoppable’ Manchester City players have the hunger to win more trophies Manchester City players and fans celebrate step one of the treble Nottinghamshire up to fourth in Division One after draw against Essex
