Le Tissier Marks 150th United Appearance With Goal in Palace Win

Maya le Tissier scored on her 150th appearance for Manchester United as they beat Crystal Palace 2-0 in the Women’s Super League, extending their unbeaten run in all competitions to 12 matches.

BBC Sport’s report credits le Tissier’s strike as part of a win that kept United’s run moving, and the club’s own match summary put the same number on the sequence after Saturday’s lunchtime game at the Progress with Unity Stadium.

That is the competitive detail that matters here. A milestone appearance is nice enough on its own; a goal inside a result that preserves form is better business. United did not just get a commemorative moment out of the afternoon, they got another league win attached to it.

Twelve unbeaten does not prove anything by itself, and it does not hand out prizes in November. It does, though, keep pressure where United would rather have it: on everyone else.

About the writer
Alex de Valletta Sports & Culture Correspondent

Alex de Valletta was good enough. A bad tackle at nineteen ended that sentence. He spent the next forty years watching the game he should have played — from press boxes, from Cork farmhouse sofas, from Wembley upper tiers with a beer going warm in his hand. He helped build Football Manager. He saw Freddie Mercury live. He has never married because women ask too many questions. Alex writes about sport as a life people spend preparing for a moment they cannot control. The score matters. What it costs to reach it matters more.
