Manchester United wrapped up a comfortable victory over Liverpool in the Women's Super League.
Two quick-fire goals from Elisabeth Terland and Leah Galton gave United a 2-0 lead before Dominique Janssen and Melvine Malard sealed the three points in the second half.
It was a routine win for Marc Skinner's side, who have struggled for consistency in recent weeks and will not have forgotten their two defeats by Liverpool last season.
But Liverpool were not able to effectively compete at Leigh Sports Village this time around - impacted heavily by injuries to key players and a lack of creativity.
They struggled to respond when they went 2-0 down and despite a short period of momentum after the break, United looked at ease as they saw out victory.
Substitute Malard's goal was the pick of the bunch, volleying home at the back post before running to the corner to celebrate in front of supporters.
United boss Marc Skinner has faced criticism for his side's performances this season but a 4-0 win over Liverpool was a good response.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's struggles continue. They have just two wins from nine in the WSL and they are awaiting scan results to find out the extent of a calf injury midfielder Marie Hobinger sustained during the international break.
