Our skipper made her 100th appearance for United against the Royals, scored from the spot and producing two assists in a frantic first period of action.
Following the commanding victory, Zelem applauded the togetherness of Marc Skinner's squad, citing the performance as a reminder of how hard our players work for each other.
"I think [togetherness is] something that Manchester United women's has always had," she said. "And for us, I think it's something that we've really based ourselves on and this year it's got even better.
"We've added seven new players and every single one of them as brought a great energy and great vibe to the team.
