Only two teams had previously completed a Women’s Super League double over Arsenal, and on Wednesday night Manchester United became the third to do so.
Alessia Russo’s first-half strike, after excellent work from Nikita Parris down the right, secured the win for Marc Skinner’s side.
After a triumphant win at the Emirates back in November, the victory at Leigh Sports Village on Wednesday was our second win against the Gunners this term.
With 18 games down and four to go, the Reds remain grounded and aren't looking too far ahead.
See below the best of our players' social reaction, as United went four points clear at the top of the league.
‘UNREAL SUPPORT’
Full-back pairing Ona Batlle and Hannah Blundell both took a moment to thank the 6,000-plus fans who were in full voice at Leigh Sports Village.
“Fans were incredible once again last night,” Blundell added.
