The Blues made it eight successive wins in the WSL and maintained top spot in style at the Etihad Stadium.
Rebecca Knaak produced a fine headed finish on 26 minutes, placing her effort into the top right corner to deal the first blow to United.
It was the German defender’s third goal in three derby fixtures, showing how much she loves to rise to the big occasions.
