🎥 Kerolin strike fires Man City Women ahead against Chelsea | OneFootball

As far as Women's Super League fixtures go, it doesn't get much bigger than Manchester City vs Chelsea.

The two clubs are once again tussling at the top end of the table, although it is the Manchester club who hold a rare advantage in the race.

Ahead of this weekend's games, City held a nine-point advantage over reigning champions Chelsea, after Sonia Bompastor's side were beaten by Arsenal last time out.

If the London club are to have any chance of muscling their way back into contention, they need a result this afternoon.

Unfortunately for them, it was City who struck first in the clash at the Etihad Stadium.

The Chelsea defence could only clear a corner as far as Kerolin and the Brazilian's deflected effort rippled the back of the net.

To make things even worse for Chelsea, Khadija Shaw then added a second for the hosts before half-time.

Can Chelsea come from behind to revive their title hopes, or will City continue their charge towards the prize?
