Manchester United defeated West Ham 4-2 on Sunday for its fourth straight win in the FA Women’s Super League. USWNT stars Tobin Heath and Christen Press both scored their first goals for the Red Devils and 21-year-old English forward Alessia Russo added a brace in the victory.
United opened the scoring in the 20th minute after Heath’s merry dance out wide eventually led to a pass for Katie Zelem. Zelem picked out Leah Galton at the far post, and she put it on a platter for Russo.

Three minutes later it was 2-0 to United after Heath opened her account with a thunderous finish following a West Ham turnover.
No stopping that from @TobinHeath!

Press entered the match as a substitute in the 77th minute, and she secured all three points in the 87th after turning in Lucy Staniforth’s devilish free kick at the back post.
