MANCHESTER United Women are top of the tree for Christmas.
The Reds' 6-1 win against bottom side Bristol City at their home ground, Leigh Sports Village, on Sunday ensured for the Reds a four-point lead over Arsenal in top spot of the Women’s Super League.
Casey Stoney's side are only playing their third season together since formation but have laid the foundation for a first Super League title push in the new year.
They were fourth on the ladder when the last campaign was curtailed in March due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
United were promoted after storming their first season in the Championship.
Their next fixture is scheduled to be away against Everton on January 10.
