According to a report by BBC Sport on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Manchester United Women secured an impressive 3-0 victory in their Women's League Cup match against Burnley Women.
Manchester United went into the game looking to continue their strong run in the competition, and they showed their intentions early by putting pressure on Burnley, who struggled to contain the hosts as the match progressed.
The home side eventually took the lead in the 29th minute when Wangerheim found the back of the net, giving United the advantage they needed to settle into the game and put Burnley under more pressure before the half-time break.
Burnley tried to stay in the contest after the restart, but United continued to control proceedings and looked more likely to score again as they pushed forward in search of a second goal to make their advantage more comfortable.
Their efforts paid off in the 66th minute when Schüller scored United's second goal, putting the hosts firmly in control and making the task more difficult for Burnley, who needed a quick response to have any chance of getting back into the match.
Schüller then completed her brace in the 86th minute, scoring United's third goal to seal a convincing win and ensure that the home side finished the evening with a clean sheet. Her two goals in the second half also underlined United's attacking strength as they made the most of their opportunities.
The result will come as a boost to Manchester United Women as they continue their campaign, with the players showing good attacking intent and enough defensive discipline to prevent Burnley from finding a way back into the game.
With the victory, Manchester United Women moved to the top of the Women's League Cup table with 12 points, while Burnley Women dropped to 12th position with three points, leaving them with plenty of work to do in the competition.
