Manchester City stretched their unbeaten run to 13 games in all competitions after a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa at the Academy Stadium on Saturday, but manager Gareth Taylor was not impressed with the performance.
City took the lead when Khadija Shaw put in a perfectly-weighted ball through to teammate Denya Castellanos to convert but the visitors replied five minutes later when Kirsty Hanson re-directed a bouncing ball from Rachel Daly’s cross into the back of the net, sending both sides back into a stalemate ahead of the break.
The home side seemed to lose their spark after 20 minutes with the defence struggling to play out from the back due to the lack of movement and forward options which left them taking too many touches in the defensive third, and they were eventually punished.
