""I absolutely loved it. It's so nice to be back with all the girls. We showed the mentality that we needed to show," Hemp told BBC Sport. "We got a clean sheet as well, which is so important for us, and we got the three points. It's important we stay humble. "We know where we're at and we're in a good place as a team. Hopefully we'll continue this run.""
""Lauren is a great player and I'm so happy for her coming in and putting in this performance. We have a great squad and so many good players," said Jeglertz. "Lauren is giving us something different and that's good for us.""
Lauren Hemp returned from a two-month ankle injury and made her first start since the lay-off for Manchester City against Manchester United at the Etihad. Hemp provided the corner for Rebecca Knaak's opener and finished with a thunderous strike into the top-left corner on the stroke of half-time to seal a 3-0 victory. The win extended Manchester City's lead over Chelsea to four points in the Women's Super League. Khadija Shaw and Vivianne Miedema remain a strong partnership, and manager Andree Jeglertz highlighted Hemp's different attacking contribution and the squad depth.
