football, The FA Women's League Cup
The best of the action as City maintains our 100% start to the Continental Cup group stages. Gareth Taylor's side were aiming for a seventh successive victory in all competitions and got things off to a dream start when Julie Blakstad tapped home from close range for her second goal in as many matches. But City had to wait until after the break to add to our advantage, with the visitors also going close before half-time with a header from Brianna Westrup. The hosts' quality would eventually tell though when Hayley Raso doubled our advantage within two minutes of the restart after latching on to a long ball over the Sunderland defence. And number three would follow soon after when Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw slotted home her 11th goal of the campaign after being played through by captain Steph Houghton. City could have added to our lead with the Jamaican, Blakstad, and young substitute Lois Marley-Paraskevas all going close, but were forced to settle for a three-goal victory at the Academy Stadium. #hasegawa #Bunnyshaw #HayleyRaso
