Chloe Kelly‘s early strike was enough for the points, extending our unbeaten start to the campaign in the process.
The winger picked up play from Jill Roord before firing a vicious low drive towards goal, which squirmed under the body of Janina Leitzig and into the net.

City were in control for the majority of the first 45, with Angeldahl and Kelly both going particularly close to extending our advantage.
But Leicester, who started the day level on points with City, grew into the game after the break, with Khiara Keating making a string of fine saves to preserve the clean sheet.
The win sees City move back to the WSL summit at time of writing ahead of the latest international break.
