Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 21:19 · Archive

Elisabeth Terland equalised in the last minute to earn Manchester United a 1-1 draw and end Manchester City's unbeaten WSL campaign.

Elisabeth Terland scored an 89th-minute equaliser as Manchester United came from behind to draw 1-1 with Manchester City in the WSL, ending City's unbeaten run through their opening six games.

Khadija Shaw broke the deadlock in the second half with a little over 20 minutes remaining, appearing to have secured victory for the defending champions. However, Terland found the bottom corner after the ball fell kindly to her in the penalty area, earning United a well-deserved point. Shaw inadvertently set up Terland for the equaliser.

Manchester City had dominated large spells of the match, with Jess Park hitting the crossbar in the first half. United, managed by Eva Olid, improved markedly compared to previous seasons against their local rivals and were good value for the draw. The result saw City drop to second in the WSL table on goal difference, behind Chelsea, and injected fresh intrigue into the title race.
