A quickfire double from Lauren Hemp saw City come from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 and move up to second in the Barclays Women’s Super League. The visitors had taken an early lead when Danielle Turner cleverly hooked an effort into the top corner of the City net. But two goals in the space of five second-half minutes from Hemp turned the game on its head at the Joie Stadium.
It means City sign off on home soil for 2023 with another hard fought triumph, and having lost just once at the Joie Stadium this year.

City’s final fixture of 2023 sees us travel to Walton Hall Park to face Everton in the WSL.
