Maya le Tissier's stunning strike helped Manchester United overcome Crystal Palace on her 150th appearance for the club.

United's 24-year-old captain was presented with a framed shirt with 'Le Tissier 150' on the back and she marked the occasion spectacularly in the Women's Super League.

After 18 minutes of dominance, Jess Park found Le Tissier 25 yards from goal. She took a touch and whipped her effort low into the bottom corner.

Palace came out for the second half with more attacking intent and almost levelled when Bethany England's effort rolled inches wide.

But the points were wrapped up for United when Park threaded a ball into the box for Elisabeth Terland to slot into the corner for her third WSL goal of the campaign.

The win takes United up to fourth in the table - a point behind third-placed London City Lionesses, who take on Arsenal on Sunday.

Palace remain 11th.

It has not been pretty at times for United under the guidance of manager Eva Olid, but the Red Devils are on the up after a rocky start to the WSL season.

United were beaten in their opening two games of the campaign, but are now unbeaten in 12 in all competitions after a change in fortunes.

Olid's side, who have not tasted defeat since 13 September, became the first team to prevent champions Manchester City from winning this term and have continued to grow.

From the first whistle at Leigh Sports Village, United were in control against Palace and it was more a question of how many the hosts would score.

Concerns were raised over the lack of depth in the squad, but Olid has the luxury of leaving Ella Toone on the bench as she selects her favoured starting line-up.

Securing a place in the Champions League may be a very realistic target for United this season.
