Midfield maestro Yui Hasegawa played a pivotal role in Manchester City's clash with Sunderland in the Continental Cup as her poised, intelligent link-up play gave the hosts control of the middle third in their 3-0 win at the Academy Stadium, on Sunday afternoon.
After the game, manager Gareth Taylor said: "Yui is such an important player, she’s been a real big addition for us, particularly her game understanding and her quality on the ball.
"She helps the team a lot and covers a lot of the ground. I think she's a very, very fit player."
