"The away side's symbolic 3-0 win at the home of their embarrassed neighbours demonstrated their vast superiority, and perhaps the only surprising thing was that they did not score more than Vivianne Miedema's two headers and Kerstin Casparij's far-post finish from a Lauren Hemp cross."
"City have certainly been helped domestically by not playing in the Champions League this season and the extra midweek rest; this match sandwiched in between the two legs of Manchester United's quarter-final against Bayern Munich."
"This most satisfying of victories for Andree Jeglertz's side put them 11 points clear at the top, and needing a maximum of five points from their remaining three league matches."
"This result mathematically ended second-placed United's own title chances; Marc Skinner's team only have three league games remaining."
Manchester City achieved a commanding 3-0 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, showcasing their superiority in the Women's Super League.

This win places City 11 points clear at the top of the league, needing just five points from their remaining matches to secure the title. The result ended United's title hopes and significantly impacted Chelsea's chances as well.
