Sophie Downey’s match report has landed.

Just as Storm Claudia tore through the northwest the previous evening, Manchester City blew Manchester United away at the Etihad. It was a statement 3-0 victory for Andrée Jeglertz’s side thanks to goals from Rebecca Knaak, Bunny Shaw and Lauren Hemp. It was one that truly announced their title credentials as they consolidated their place at the top of the table.

That’s eight wins on the trot for City now in the league. They’re making very good headway in their bid for a first WSL title since 2016. Second-place Chelsea have a chance to respond tomorrow when they face Liverpool in St Helens.
