We moved level on points with the leaders thanks to Bunny Shaw’s 14th minute strike at Kingsmeadow.

Chelsea 0-1 City | Match report
After weathering an early storm from the hosts, it was City who drew first blood with a lightning counter attack when Park nicked the ball off Erin Cuthbert as the Chelsea captain hesitated just inside the hosts’ half.
Racing forward, the midfielder laid the ball off to Shaw, who confidently poked home across goal and beyond Hannah Hampton.
Despite some later scares, Gareth Taylor’s side dug deep to record the kind of victory that could define our season.
