Chelsea Women vs Manchester City Women (2-0) | Extended Highlights | Women's Super League 2022

Kavitha Shaw though has had a bright start to the season and has almost got him around the back here. Buchanan in the way. Lively start to the game. Shaw here shrugging off the attentions of Buchanan. That's a useful ball as well. Kerr angle against her and it's easy enough for Ellie Roebuck. Reach forwards by Coombs and it's useful as well. Very useful. Well Chloe Kelly with a really good set off low too. Ericsson now. It's a deep one. Too deep for Kerr. James! Dangerous and gathered by Roebuck. Jesse Fleming going in. They're asking for a handball in there. Abigail Byrne the referee didn't see anything untoward. Horton who hasn't got enough on that and it's Sam Kerr. Unselfish. Normally Kerr would go for goal but tried to tee up Kirby. James and in from Yelder and gathered gratefully by Ellie Roebuck and Steph Horton will be very... He's sure still going and going over and nothing doing from Abigail Byrne. Chelsea to be able to bring in in the shape of the international in the French League and the Champions League with the fees when she's sure is running at them. She's gone for this and it got a deflection. Manchester City get their first corner of the game and again it's Khadija Shaw who is causing the problem. She's already scored three goals this season. One against Aston Villa last week. It's a good looking corner and it will be another corner. She looks disappointed. I wonder if that's because she it was a good chance or because she feels that she was nudged in the back either way. Accidentally gotten her teammate's way and then tries to make the most of the opportunity to get it. If there's the small matter of the Merseyside derby later. Shaw again just gives Chelsea some food for thought. A good swivel. Whips it in well. Kerr got up but couldn't get the touch. She's so reliable with her deliveries from wide position and it's still there and that's useful. Chloe Kelly gets the corner but it could have been more. Missed control from Erin Cuthbert to pick out Kasperite will come to her. Now she goes for the delivery and Berger comes to collect. Corner but Hemp's kept it going. Danger here. Hemp could save Berger. She was aware that Hemp may go for the near post which is exactly what Lauren Hemp did. Berger in a rush to prevent it going behind but it came back from Kelly. Well not entirely sure what went on there. Manchester City's deliveries from corners have certainly proved to be a handful. Coombs. Corner. She created five chances in open play for Manchester City in that defeat against Aston Villa last. Jostling in there again. It's another good delivery but that's a really good claim and doesn't get it away that far. Castellanos gets away from Horton and across here surely. Fran Kirby puts Chelsea in front. Their first shot on target leads to the first goal of the game. Manchester City will feel hard done by on the balance of play but Chelsea quickly clicked through the gears here. Horton was left floundering right and then picked up the running and then picked out Fran Kirby who was Kelly. Useful ball. Oh chance! Somehow saved by Berger. How on earth did she keep Laura Coombs out there? Manchester City very nearly did have the immediate response. Look at Hemp. Kasperai wants it back. Hemp keeps it and finds Shaw right to the rescue for Chelsea. Super run from Kirsten Kasperai. Hemp here picked out Shaw. It's a great memory there. Delivery from corners has been on point and that although it didn't look like the greatest ball in could have worked out brilliantly for them. Alexandri with the dart towards the near post which makes you feel that that... Alexandri. Useful. Coombs straight at Berger. Much more comfortable save for Berger compared to the earlier one that she produced to keep Coombs at bay. Again it's nicely back right and sends it wide. Here is Ericsson. Useful cross but in the end it was too close to Ellie Roebuck. Dark blue shirt and now James on the scene to collect and James goes for it. Well the ball in initially wasn't great but it worked out for Chelsea in that it forced City into an error there. It's Kirby. Kirby! Now she's got three goals in her last and having a go. Roebuck to the rescue for Manchester City to keep them in the game and cut for it again. Ingles hit. Roebuck sprawling to try and stop it. Sneak again. Looked like it may have clipped the crossbar on its way as well. Maromelder. Brilliant penalty and surely all three points for the champions now. Now this is textbook. You don't save those. Absolutely.
