Elisabeth Terland's sixth-minute volley was enough to give Manchester United a 1-0 victory over Tottenham as they returned to second in the Women's Super League. Here is what the managers had to say after the game:

Man Utd manager Marc Skinner, speaking to Sky Sports: "No not really, [it wasn't close]. I think it wasn't an exhilarating game by any means. Some of the games haven't been this weekend. For us it was just about control, I felt we had quite a lot.

"Tottenham had a couple of moments but that was all they had in the game really.

"Second half they probably started a little bit better than us but we changed up, got a little bit more energy in the team and then I felt again we had control right to the end."

Tottenham head coach Robert Vilahamn, speaking to Sky Sports: "If you sum up the whole game we competed with them, they had a few chances, we had a few, quite even, even if they are the better team.

"They started much better than us. They scored the goal, really good pressure on us as well. That's what has made them win the game but I think the second half showed we are competing with them.

"I actually think the second half shows we are closing the gap, even if there's still a gap.

"If you look at box defending and how we concede goals sometimes, obviously we don't win the duels, the opponents have really good players but if you don't win those duels they score that goal and that's the goal they won the game with."
