"Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Mary Earps expected a hostile welcome on her return to Manchester in this UEFA Women's Champions League clash, and that's what she received. Whenever she touched the ball, boos greeted her, but were soon countered by cheers from some of the 14,667 supporters in the crowd. It was a group divided over Earps' return, but what united the fans was the hosts' performance."
"First, Melvine Malard scored a wonderful effort in the 31st minute as she curled an effort past Earps into her left corner, and then in the second half, 15 passes separated a long clearance from Earps and Fridolina Rolfö heading home United's second. PSG remain pointless, and Olga Carmona's spectacular goal -- an equalizer at the time -- will only be a glimpse in this match's highlights rather than the headline moment. PSG now have work to do to progress."
Manchester United beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at Old Trafford in a UEFA Women's Champions League group match. Melvine Malard opened the scoring in the 31st minute with a curled effort past Mary Earps, and Fridolina Rolfö headed home United's second after a 15-pass sequence from a long Earps clearance. Supporters totaled 14,667 in a rain-soaked stadium, with boos greeting returning PSG goalkeeper Mary Earps whenever she touched the ball, though some fans cheered in counterpoint. Olga Carmona produced a spectacular equalizer during the match, but PSG remained pointless in the group. The fixture marked United's first women's match at Old Trafford.
