Manchester City come out on top in the Manchester derby in front of record attendance at Old Trafford as they beat rivals United 3-1 to go third

Manchester United had waited five years to host their first derby at Old Trafford. But when the moment finally arrived, it was City who grasped it.

From Chloe Kelly riling the United fans, to Lauren Hemp knee-sliding in front of Sir Alex Ferguson stand, this was a day that the blue half of Manchester will remember - and one the Reds will want to forget.

The pressure had been on City after back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Brighton. No team has ever won the WSL with more than two losses in a season and Taylor had admitted they needed to go the rest of the campaign unbeaten to be in with a chance.
