Scot aims to make history at July’s London Diamond League‘This record is one of the most important we have’It is, says Josh Kerr, a moment that makes the hairs on the back of his neck tingle every time he watches it.

They tore them apart in the process, while also damaging United’s hopes of qualifying for Europe next season.The away side’s symbolic 3-0 win at the home of their embarrassed neighbours demonstrated their vast superiority, and perhaps the only surprising thing was that they did not score more than Vivianne Miedema’s two headers and Kerstin Casparij’s far-post finish from a Lauren Hemp cross.
