Manchester City fell to a 2-0 defeat against Chelsea in the FA Women's Community Shield at Wembley Stadium, with Millie Bright and Erin Cuthbert netting in the second half after Jill Scott was sent off for a second bookable offence with 28 minutes to go.
Chelsea took advantage of Scott’s dismissal just after the hour mark, with Bright striking in a thunderous opener from 30 yards, four minutes after the red card, before Cuthbert added a second in stoppage time.
Chelsea’s Sam Kerr failed to convert on multiple occasions, whilst City debutant Chloe Kelly came closest for Gareth Taylor‘s side, striking the post ten minutes before half time.
