Manchester City's two Australian stars Mary Fowler and Alanna Kennedy are in pole position to become English champions after a calamitous Women's Super League defeat for Chelsea.
Not even an own goal from their Matildas goalkeeper Teagan Micah could prevent Liverpool from beating champions Chelsea 4-3 on Wednesday (Thursday AEST), a result that has tipped the title race decisively in City's favour.
Fowler had scored two dazzlers and Kennedy was a rock at the back in the City side that had swept to a 4-0 win at Bristol City at the weekend, and Chelsea simply couldn't respond to the increasing pressure at Liverpool's Prenton Park.
