Soccer-Sandberg scores stunner as Man United grab 1-1 WSL draw with Chelsea

On Friday, Manchester United Women held Chelsea Women to a 1-1 draw at Leigh Sports Village, ending Chelsea's 100% WSL record and flawless start to the season.
A slick move saw Catarina Macario assist Wieke Kaptein's opener, then a loose clearance and Ella Toone's follow-up allowed Anna Sandberg to volley her first goal to equalise.
Late in the game Chelsea threatened but United's defence and Phallon Tullis-Joyce held firm, with Tullis-Joyce denying Wieke Kaptein and Keira Walsh to preserve the draw.
The draw extended United's unbeaten run to five games and Marc Skinner said `We haven't beaten them yet in the league, so we need to beat them`, urging more progress.
With the Champions League imminent, Chelsea face fitness and form questions as Sam Kerr has only accumulated 91 minutes in her four appearances since returning.
