Man Utd clearly moved three points in second place in the WSL after a deserved 1-0 win in Tottenham to extend their winning competition run to five games.
Elisabeth Terland cooled the cross of Jayde Rivere in the nearby pole for less than six minutes when Man Utd flew out of the blocks in the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They could have been further ahead of the break after the daring long-ranger of Ella Toone kissed the pole on his way behind the road, but even with a revival of the second half, the visitors were never seriously disturbed.
In the game, the hosts came on an unbeaten run of four games themselves, but rarely threatened to extend to a fifth.
Beth England nodded and Jessica Naz poked Phallon Tullis-Joyce's Palms in the best of Spurs' few opportunities, while this season Man Etd comfortably saw a ninth clean slate of 13 WSL matches.
After the slip-up of Man City at home in Arsenal earlier on Sunday, Marc Skinner's Side moves a point further ahead of the pursuit package, but is still seven points on Chelsea after their late victory in Aston Villa earlier in the day.
