Manchester United, top of the FA WSL, hammered Bristol City, bottom of the division, 6-1 on Sunday with Tobin Heath scoring a late brace.
Millie Turner, Jessica Sigsworth and a Leah Galton double had given United a 4-0 lead by the 63rd-minute, but Ebony Salmon pulled one back for City in the 72nd. Heath restored the four-goal advantage seven minutes from time by curling one into the top corner from nearly 25 yards out.

Her second came three minutes later, putting the proverbial nail in the coffin — although the nutmeg really is that sinister.
Great feet and finish from @TobinHeath! #BarclaysFAWSL pic.twitter.com/dvDBZvidsm

Galton’s 26th-minute opener for United is also worth a watch.
Pick that one out!
Nothing short of an absolute screamer from @leah_galton21. #BarclaysFAWSL pic.twitter.com/PnwAA0rl6F— Barclays FA Women's Super League (@BarclaysFAWSL) December 20, 2020
Manchester United remains unbeaten after 10 matches with eight wins and two draws. They’re enjoying a four-point lead over second-place Arsenal, but things get difficult with Everton (Jan. 10) and Chelsea (Jan. 17) up next.
