Mary Fowler shines but Man City undone by goalie errors

Another quality display from Mary Fowler, adorned by two goal assists, has proved in vain as a couple of horrendous goalkeeping errors undid Manchester City in their English Women's Super League derby.

Manchester United prevailed 4-2 in a compelling Sunday evening clash at Etihad Stadium, but City's gifted Matilda, Fowler, laid on their two goals and almost dragged them back into the game late with a brilliant little flick that pulled a great save from American Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

Ultimately, City couldn't recover from two woeful errors by 20-year-old keeper Khiara Keating, trying calamitously to play out from the back, that helped gift United the points that ensured they leapfrog City into third place in the WSL on 24 points.
