Carli Lloyd's best Man City Women moments

Carli Lloyd has returned to America, following her spell at Man City Women. We look back at her highlights from her time with the Blues...

The USA star, who joined the Club in February ahead of the FA WSL Spring Series, helped the Blues to an FA Cup triumph and the Champions League semi-finals.

The midfielder netted three crucial goals in 11 appearances, including a strike at Wembley and two on the European stage – one of which handed Nick Cushing’s side victory at the home of eventual competition winners Lyon.

Lloyd has set off back to America to rejoin Houston Dash butdeclared she will look back on her time in Manchester fondly and is open a return in future.
