Man City bounced back from their early season wobble with a convincing 3-0 victory over Tottenham in the Barclays FA WSL.
Goals from Khadija (Bunny) Shaw and Lauren Hemp ensured the blue half of Manchester kept pace with not only their local city rivals but also Arsenal and Chelsea too ahead of their Sunday games against Liverpool and Brighton respectively.
The north Londoners came into this one having never beaten Man City at home in the FA WSL and with Rehanne Skinner’s long-term Champions League aspirations in mind, this was a big chance for the Lilywhites to make a statement to the rest of their competitors. Having already failed their first big test of the season miserably in the north London derby, Man City were expected to inflict the same type of misery on their opponents.
