There were three changes from Sunday’s Subway Women’s League Cup final in Bristol, with Marc Skinner recalling Lea Schuller, Fridolina Rolfo and Millie Turner, replacing Ellen Wangerheim, Melvine Malard and Jayde Riviere respectively.
United created most of the best chances in the stalemate, unable to find a way past a dogged West Ham backline as centre-back Eva Nystrom was awarded Barclays Player of the Match and goalkeeper Kinga Szemik made five saves.
It means that a WSL winning run stretching back to January ends at four games.
FIRST HALF
Kick-off was delayed by 10 minutes due to travel disruption affecting United’s arrival in Dagenham, but the visitors dominated the ball once things did get going.
