"Andree Jeglertz's side were back to their free-flowing attacking best, putting six past Leicester. Dominant seems to be a bit of an understatement when describing this performance. The league leaders created 31 chances, with 15 on target; had an xG of 4.63; registered 66 touches in the opposition box; and made 600 of 660 passes (91%). The front four of Lauren Hemp, Bunny Shaw, Kerolin and Vivianne Miedema is formidable and they were all involved, to some degree, in five of the six goals."
"In a game defined by which team were able to take their opportunities, James's ability to be the gamechanger shone through, first as a more central forward then on the wing. It was also a reminder of the fact that Sonia Bompastor has been unable to call upon her quality for long periods owing to an ankle injury sustained at last summer's European Championship. This was her sixth league start and first 90 minutes."
Manchester City returned to free-flowing attacking form, scoring six against Leicester and creating 31 chances with 15 on target and an xG of 4.63. City registered 66 touches in the opposition box and completed 600 of 660 passes (91%). The front four of Lauren Hemp, Bunny Shaw, Kerolin and Vivianne Miedema combined heavily, contributing to five of the six goals; Hemp created 11 chances and two assists, Shaw scored her 15th league goal, Miedema scored twice, and Kerolin produced a standout goal and an assist. Chelsea beat Liverpool 2-0, with Lauren James scoring and assisting, and Sonia Bompastor completed her first full 90 minutes as fitness improves.
