The Blues took the lead in the first-half through Aggie Beever-Jones, converting from a flat cross by new signing Ellie Carpenter, who is already proving a shrewd investment after a standout display.

Momentum looked to be turning in City's favour after Alex Greenwood rattled the bar with a free-kick, but it would be the hosts who would get the game's crucial second goal courtesy of Maika Hasano.
