Manchester City vs Everton: WSL final day talking points

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester City ended their Women’s Super League campaign with a 3-1 win over Everton. The result leaves the Sky Blues in fourth position in the table, equal with Arsenal on 47 points but with an inferior goal difference, which sees them miss out on q Champions League qualification spot for next year.

It's their lowest final position since 2014 when they placed fifth. A ‘pointless’ tie lead to poor performances: Lacklustre is the only word to describe the performances on the pitch on the WSL final day.

Gareth Taylor was animated on the sidelines in the first half, spurring Deyna Castellanos to get involved in play on the half-hour mark, which she did but was alone on the energy front.

Alex Greenwood stood still with the ball trying to feint-off Izzy Christiansen, and even walked with the ball sometimes. No one was pressing yellow shirts, which allowed for too many runners through the middle.

United’s victory in the last derby turned out to be nowhere near as pivotal as it felt at the time.

A draw at Crystal Palace and defeat at Arsenal in the two games that followed exposed that as fallacy. But that does not mean the game was not meaningful – even if that significance was probably felt more by City than United.
