Manchester City lost 2-1 to Arsenal on Sunday. Chloe Kelly cancelled out Steph Catley’s goal, just under an hour after going behind.

But Stina Blackstenius calmly placed the ball into the back of an open City net after a defensive mishap for the Sky Blues. Here are the five main discussion points from the game: To be honest, this was the same situation last campaign, it seems Gareth Taylor has fine-tuned his attacking formation and has recruited some of the best attacking talents in the women’s game.

But then it seems to just stop when it comes to his defensive line. He speaks a lot about how consistency is king in this league and to club success yet doesn't quite practice what he preaches with his defensive selections - the keeper situation and attackers are pretty concrete.

Being without Alex Greenwood would hurt any side - ask Sarina Wiegman about that one. But it's not like Taylor hasn’t got the players.
