City pass the Tess-t

-

MANCHESTER CITY recovered from a bizarre 50-yard own goal to end Birmingham’s 100 per cent start to the new Women’s Super League season.

The visitors fell behind after just seven minutes when Abbie McManus played a long-range backpass which bounced over keeper Ellie Roebuck.

Meaghan Sergeant increased Birmingham’s lead before half-time, but the visitors hit back through Caroline Weir and Nikita Parris, before Tessa Wullaert’s winner.

Defending champions Chelsea earned their first victory with a 2-0 home win over Brighton.
