FT

Another home win!

What a comeback from City!

Lauren Hemp's five-minute second-half brace sees City take all three points in our final home game of 2023. 

That means City have lost just one game on home soil, what a year it's been at the Joie Stadium!

90'+4'

Hemp has her eye on the hat-trick

City have had a couple of late half chances with Hemp driving towards goal in search of her third but Villa have defended well.

90'

Six minutes left to play...

The fourth official has indicated a minimum of six minutes of added time. 

Let's see this out City!

87'

Shaw receives treatment

Penalty claims ring around the Joie Stadium from fans after a late tackle by Turner inside the box.

No penalty given as City keep possession with a drop ball.

86'

Kelly from distance!

Chloe Kelly regains possession in Villa's half and drives towards goal.

She tries to catch Van Domselaar off guard with a ranged effort but the keeper blocks the ball with an outstretched hand.

83'

Keep pushing!

Villa are trying to break through the lines but City are holding strong.

Both teams are starting to look a little tired after such an intense 80 minutes of football.

79'

The passion!

Hemp celebrates her second goal of the game 🎉

78'

Keating called into action

After a pause in play for Villa players to receive treatment they quickly go on the attack.

Substitutes Salmon and Parker link up well with the latter firing a shot at Keating.

But the keeper controls the ball comfortably to deny the visitors. 

74'

Double sub for Villa

Rachel Corsie is replaced by Lucy Parker and Ebony Salmon comes on for Jordan Nobbs. 

Villa still clearly fighting for at least a point with those changes.

70'

Hemp almost gets her hat-trick!

An almost identical chance to Hemp's first goal but Van Domselaar gets down to the bottom right corner quick enough to deny Hemp.

What a second half performance from Hempo so far!
