"It ended in a 2-0 defeat to the champions but his side impressed at Stamford Bridge and asked several questions of their opponents. London City controlled 43% of possession perhaps more than expected and managed the same number of shots on target (three), with Isobel Goodwin providing a particular threat running in behind. When we compare it to September when we played other top-four opposition, it was really good, Precheur said."
"Liverpool's head coach, Gareth Taylor, issued a rallying call to his side as the wait for their first points continues. After another defeat, this time 2-1 at the hands of Tottenham, he said: We have to battle through it. The message is clear. We're working so hard to turn this into a better situation but it takes a bit of time and a bit of support. Unfortunately, at the moment, we're getting knocked with it, but we will keep fighting."
London City Lionesses lost 2-0 to Chelsea but produced an encouraging performance at Stamford Bridge, controlling 43% of possession and matching Chelsea with three shots on target. Isobel Goodwin posed a consistent threat running in behind. The side displayed better collective defending and attacking balance compared with earlier top-four matches, though further improvement is needed. Liverpool suffered a 2-1 defeat to Tottenham and remain without points, despite an even statistical match at Brisbane Road; after taking an early lead the visitors faded and the team continued to show a worrying tendency to fall away in games.
