Elisabeth Terland's two goals fired Manchester United to a 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Leigh Sports Village.
Marc Skinner's side moved up into second in the table after three games, and it was their new recruit from Brighton & Hove Albion, Terland, who set them on their way.
The Norwegian notched the first on 44 minutes with an expertly taken right-footed volley from Celin Bizet's cross that flew beyond Becky Spencer via the underside of the crossbar.

Just six minutes later, she had her second of the afternoon, stealing in at the back post to nod home and double the advantage on the stroke of half-time.
Maya Le Tissier, the captain, added the third from the penalty spot a minute shy of the hour after Ella Toone's cross hit Ashleigh Neville's arm.
Robert Vilahamn's Spurs, however, have just one win from their opening four games, but they did have their chances, having 55% possession, and 18 shots in the match, six more than the hosts.
Drew Spence went close with a dipping effort from range that forced a strong save out of Phallon Tullis-Joyce, and neat work between Spence and Beth England gave Martha Thomas a chance to slot home for Spurs, but Tullis-Joyce was at the rescue for United.
England had an opportunity when Thomas seized upon possession and slotted in her team-mate, but the striker was wasteful in front of goal, and Spurs' profligacy was punished.
