With just eight games left to play in the Women’s Super League, Manchester City produced an inspired performance under the lights at Kingsmeadow to pull themselves level with Chelsea at the top of the table. In a victory that ended Chelsea’s 22-game winning streak at home in the league, Gareth Taylor’s side proved their credentials as title contenders with a controlled performance that was emblematic of their progression as a team.
Playing an integral role in their display was the 22-year-old Jess Park who has been perhaps a surprise revelation in the City midfield in recent weeks. Her technical abilities, speed and awareness were evident throughout and it was her aggressiveness in the press that forced the experienced Erin Cuthbert into a mistake for Khadija Shaw’s 14th-minute goal.
