The England wingers Chloe Kelly and Lauren Hemp ran riot against Arsenal’s chaotic defence and scored a goal apiece as Manchester City leapfrogged their opponents into third. City now sit three points clear of Arsenal having played a game more, and are level on points with second-placed Manchester United and two behind the leaders, Chelsea, after an inconsistent start to the season.
“I’m very impressed,” said the Manchester City manager, Gareth Taylor. “We were on it from minute one. It’s a testament to the girls to take it to another level from the game the other day. We should’ve been four or five up at half-time.”
