Kirsty Hanson struck a late leveller as Manchester United hit back from 2-0 down to grab a derby draw with Manchester City.
Substitute Hanson and Tobin Heath scored to keep Women’s Super League leaders United unbeaten this season as they clinched a 2-2 draw.
The point left United two points clear at the top of the table after Chloe Kelly and Laura Coombs had put City 2-0 up at the break at Leigh Sports Village.
Kelly gave City an eighth-minute lead and Coombs doubled it when she found the top corner from the edge of the area.
But Heath pulled a goal back when she cashed in on sloppy City defending and Hanson completed the comeback with 16 minutes remaining when she poked in.
