Continuing their brilliant form against the Barclays Women’s Super League’s toughest opponents, West Ham United women’s team held Manchester United to a goalless draw at Chigwell Construction Stadium on Saturday.
Keeping a fourth league clean sheet of the season, against the third-place Red Devils, Rehanne Skinner’s side gave the visitors little joy in the attacking third. The closest they came to a goal was through a Celin Bizet effort that struck the crossbar in the first half.
The Hammers had opportunities of their own, however, proving a threat on the counter-attack, and nearly struck gold when an in-form Shekiera Martinez bent an effort just wide of the top-left corner.
The stalemate means the women’s team are unbeaten in four matches, and have lost just once in their last five, having faced all of the current top four in that period.
