Man City Tops WSL as Hemp Sparks Comeback

Man City Tops WSL as Hemp Sparks Comeback: Lauren Hemp scores and assists as Man City top the WSL with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa, with Liverpool at Crystal Palace, Leicester at Everton, West Ham at Arsenal and Chelsea at Tottenham to follow on Sunday.

Auren Hemp played a starring role as Man City came from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 and climb to the top of the Women’s Super League.

For the second league game in a row – following last Sunday’s 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield – Gareth Taylor’s side found themselves behind, this time against the run of play.

Kirsty Hanson led a counter-attack down the left and crossed to the near post, where a deft touch from summer signing Gabi Nunes beat Ayaka Yamashita.
