Manchester City head coach Gareth Taylor praised Chloe Kelly after the striker marked her return to the starting line-up with a stirring display in the Citizens 4-1 Vitality Women’s FA Cup semi-final victory over West Ham.
The 24-year-old suffered an ACL injury last May and only returned to action two weeks ago as a substitute in a Barclays FA WSL meeting between the two teams, a match City won 2-0. Kelly and Ellen White both scored in the first half to give them a well-deserved lead at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.
“It was a good performance against a tough team,” said Taylor. “I was happy with elements of our play and we scored some good goals.
