View the best images from City's 4-2 home win over Liverpool as we maintained our perfect start to the WSL season
An evening which began with everyone at the Joie Stadium celebrating Lauren Hemp and her 200th appearance in the Barclays Women’s Super League, and ended with the England winger kickstarting celebrations in the stands.
It was a tough start to the evening for City, however, after going 1-0 up through Hemp, who netted her first goal of the season, but we were shortly behind with two quickfire goals from Liverpool, although a Bunny Shaw finish from on the goal line ensured we went into the break level.
The second-half followed a similar pattern of Liverpool being compact and not affording City much space to work, but a dangerous low cross from substitute Grace Clinton forced Grace Fisk to fire the ball into her own net.
And then Hemp doubled her tally for the season and the match as she sprinted through on goal from the halfway line before smashing past Khiara Keating.
