18 minutes later midfielder Hayley Ladd won the ball high up the pitch from United as Ella Toone played the ball into Russo who doubled Manchester United’s lead.
Just before halftime, Ladd got a goal for herself from another Batlle cross which found Ladd’s head as she guided the ball into the bottom right of the net.
Baltlle got a hattrick of assists as she put the ball in the box for fellow defender Millie Turner who scored in the 63rd minute which resulted in an Emma Koivisto own goal for Liverpool.
Martha Thomas and Rachel Williams added two goals off the bench with 20 minutes to go as United Women beat Liverpool Women for the first time ever in the WSL.
Marc Skinner’s Red Devils stay in second place in the Women’s Super League, being three points a drift of Chelsea at the top of the table.
