The defender came off the bench in our 2-2 draw with Leicester in the Continental Cup to become only the third women’s player to become a double centurion.
With the two sides level after 90 minutes, it was down to the lottery of a penalty shootout, with the Foxes coming out on top to earn the bonus point in Group A.
It was a frustrating day at the office for City, but the return of Stokes for her first appearance since March was a welcome boost for Taylor.
Speaking after the match, he said: “Yeah of course [it’s nice to see her back]. She adds experience and quality on the ball and communicates well with the team.
“That 200th appearance has been a long time in the making, but we got there eventually.
“She reads the game really well and that experience she brings is something we’ve missed because we are quite a young team.”
