Manchester United came from behind to beat London City Lionesses in the Women's Super League and extend their winning run to seven matches in all competitions. It was hard work on Sunday for United, whose squad has been hit by injury and illness, just days after travelling back from their Champions League victory over Atletico Madrid. They were behind within five minutes as Nikita Parris gave London City Lionesses a deserved lead, meeting Freya Godfrey's inch-perfect cross to head in the opener. That gave United a lifeline and they did enough in the second half to grind out a hard-earned victory and retain second spot in the Women's Super League table. It is a blow to London City Lionesses' boss Maestre, who has just one win in his opening five WSL matches since replacing Jocelyn Precheur over Christmas.
