Women’s Super League: Leicester 0-1 Man City (Kelly 10)Early strike lifts visitors to top of the WSL table
Manchester City continued their unbeaten start to the season after edging past a courageous Leicester in a competitive, high-octane encounter. Chloe Kelly’s first-half strike was enough to give them the three points in an end-to-end game in front of an expectant crowd.
The result left the City manager, Gareth Taylor, satisfied with his team’s early form. “I can imagine it was a good game to watch – really high tempo, lots of energy, lots of commitment,” he said. “I’m absolutely delighted with the win. It was difficult. We knew that they would come out and engage the way they did, but probably not as aggressive. I think that left a lot of space and we should have exploited it better.”
