Gareth Taylor criticises officiating as Man City denied "stonewall" penalty in WSL derby

Gareth Taylor believes key decisions from the officials cost his team after Manchester City suffered late heartache in the Manchester derby.

City were minutes away from a 1-1 draw away at neighbours Manchester United, having controlled most of the second half after equalising through Filippa Angeldahl. But Lucia Garcia scored a dramatic injury-time winner for the hosts that means Taylor's side are set to miss out on Champions League qualification.

The visitors were also denied what looked a clear penalty when Bunny Shaw was clipped inside the box during the second half. But referee Rebecca Welch waved play on, a decision which City manager Taylor later labelled a "stonewall" penalty in his post-match interview.
