Derby day drama delivered at Old Trafford as Manchester City got back to winning ways and put an end to Manchester United’s unbeaten record with a 3-1 win, despite being reduced to 10 players.
Laia Aleixandri was shown her second yellow card for a challenge on Lucia Garcia, leaving City to defend their lead with 10 players on the field and 20 minutes left on the clock.
But even after ending the game with five forwards on the pitch, United were unable to capitalise -although it might have something to do with the five-player backline Gareth Taylor responded with.
The game was put to bed just before the hour mark when Khadija Shaw chased down a poor pass back to Mary Earps, with the United 'keeper making a bit of a mess of the situation as the ball ricocheted off the Jamaican into the back of United's net to give the visitors a two-goal lead.
