It proved to be a night of frustration for City at Stamford Bridge as Gareth Taylor’s side suffered a first defeat in any competition this season.
Two late goals in the space of four minutes saw Chelsea leapfrog City into top spot in the Women’s Super League.
It was a tight first half although Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw had a couple of sights of the Chelsea goal.
The game remained goalless until the 75th minute when Mayra Ramirez struck before Guro Reiten added a second shortly after.
Defeat was our first of the 2024/25 campaign and also ended an 11-match winning streak.
