The Blues travelled to South London looking to extend our 100% start to the league season against the newly-promoted Addicks.
City had beaten Birmingham City, Aston Villa and Liverpool in our opening four fixtures, and came into the tie on the back of a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Andrée Jeglertz rotated the squad amid a busy fixture period, with Eartha Cumings coming in for her first appearance of the season between the sticks, and Niamh Charles including on the bench ahead of potentially making her debut.
Mary Fowler also started up front for the Blues, celebrating her 100th appearance at The Valley against the WSL newcomers.
Our opponents had endured a tough start to life in the top flight and were searching for their first point of the campaign against the reigning champions.
