Manchester City kept the pressure on leaders Chelsea with a convincing 4-1 victory at Brighton on Sunday.
Since City last played in the league, they had been eliminated from the League Cup by Chelsea and the FA Cup on penalties by Tottenham.
But Gareth Taylor’s team bounced back with Lauren Hemp, Mary Fowler, Khadija Shaw and Laura Coombs finding the net.
Former City player Lee Geum-min scored for Brighton in injury time, much to Taylor’s chagrin, with City trailing Chelsea on goal difference.
“We said at half-time that we wanted the score to be higher than the two we had and we did it,” he revealed. “But I was frustrated by the goal we conceded at the end.”
