Report: Manchester City 2 United Women 1

Manchester United Women have been beaten 2-1 in the Continental League Cup this evening, away to rivals Manchester City.

Despite a promising start from the Reds, the hosts broke the deadlock immediately after the interval through Chloe Kelly, whose effort rattled the back of the net.

Their second would come from fellow forward Lauren Hemp who, unmarked at the back post, was able to knock in the rebound from Phallon Tullis-Joyce's initial save.

Nikita Parris scored her 11th goal of the season late on, but it would prove to only be a consolation, as the home side saw out the remainder of the contest to take all three points.
