Manchester City goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck believes squad togetherness could be the key to finishing the season strongly in the Women's Super League.
It's been something of a transitional season for Gareth Taylor's side following a summer exodus of high-profile players. After a rocky start to the campaign, an impressive 14-game unbeaten run saw them claw their way back into the title race, toppling reigning champions Chelsea along the way.
That unbeaten run came to an end on Sunday at Meadow Park, where goals from Frida Maanum and Katie McCabe helped Arsenal come from behind to clinch all three points and leapfrog City in the table. While the result is undoubtedly a huge blow to City's title ambitions, the ability to respond to adversity has been one of the hallmarks of their season so far, and that resilient mentality could prove decisive heading into the last five games of the campaign.
