Manchester United regained third place in the Women’s Super League with a 3-0 home win over West Ham.

Martha Thomas scored before Grace Fisk put into her own net at Leigh Sports Village.

Although the early intensity waned, Leah Galton converted an Alessia Russo cross in the second half.

The top three sides qualify for the Champions League. United are one point ahead of fourth-placed Manchester City but have played one game more.

United meet Chelsea in their final match of the season next Sunday.

City host Birmingham on Wednesday before travelling to Reading on Sunday.
