Manchester City's hopes of Champions League next season have all but vanished after falling to defeat in a fiery Manchester derby at United's fortress Leigh Sports Village in front of a record crowd.
City went behind after just two minutes through United's Hayley Ladd, and it went from bad to worse just before half time when Ellie Roebuck was sent off for an unnecessary and heavy-footed tackle on Nikita Parris.
Despite being ripped apart by United in the first ten minutes, City grew into the game from the 20th minute putting pressure back on Marc Skinner's side who had been dominating the first 45.
