Leicester City earned their first ever point against Manchester United in the Women’s Super League after holding on to draw 1-1 at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday.

Willie Kirk’s second-place side have seven points from three games, level with leaders Manchester City, who thrashed Bristol City 5-0, and also with title holders Chelsea who beat West Ham United 2-0 on Saturday. United are fifth on five points.

Captain Aileen Whelan struck at the far post from a freekick in the 60th minute to give Leicester a surprise lead, having frustrated their hosts for an hour.

However, defender Maya Le Tissier equalised seven minutes later when she headed home Katie Zelem’s corner to the delight of the home fans.

Leicester have been a revelation early this campaign, unbeaten in their first three games after a 10th-place finish last season.
