With stoppage time approaching, it looked like City would be forced to settle for a frustrating point at the Joie Stadium.
Gareth Taylor‘s side, searching for an eighth victory in a row, had done everything but score against the resilient Foxes, with Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw hitting the post and also seeing a goal ruled out for offside.
It looked like it would take a moment of world class quality to separate the sides, and that came when Hemp’s spectacular improvised scorpion kick squeezed into the bottom corner past the despairing dive of Lize Kop.

Moments later, City doubled our advantage with another incredible individual effort, this time from Kelly, who scored directly from a corner.
Using the gusty conditions to her advantage, the winger sent a vicious ball into the Leicester box which evaded everyone and nestled into the top corner of the Foxes’ net.
Our Pitcam was on hand to capture both goals in spectacular detail, bringing you closer to the action than ever before.
