Manchester United reached their first Women’s League Cup final with a 1-0 semi-final win over Arsenal, extending their run of clean sheets against the Gunners. Terland scored just before half-time, and Arsenal later went down to ten players. United capitalised on a goalkeeper error, with Wangerheim teeing up Terland for a close-range finish. Arsenal pressed and created chances, but Smith was sent off for a second booking, and Tullis-Joyce made key saves as United held firm to face Chelsea.

Sensitivity around the injury meant she appeared in sunglasses while Safia Middleton-Patel impressed in goal, but coaches admit losing their new number one is a major setback. United hope she can return before the winter break if doctors clear full contact, while her USWNT momentum is also interrupted.

United failed to register a shot on target and looked flat only days after a historic win over Paris Saint-Germain. City’s pressing and midfield control suffocated United from kickoff, with Lauren Hemp, Khadija Shaw and Rebecca Knaak combining to bury the visitors before half time. United protests over a perceived foul before the second goal were waved away, and careless buildup play gifted Hemp the ruthless third.
