That's a wrap 👋

Well there you have it, a six-goal City win to move us up to second... lovely stuff!

Chloe Kelly's sublime brace set the tone for a convincing victory - our largest in the WSL this season.

Taylor on Houghton goal

"It’s her birthday, so it’s great!

"The team wins and you score a goal too, and we’ve been pushing on set plays to improve on them. 

"We get a lot of corners but scoring goals is the part we haven’t been great at.

"She's pleased with that because it’s something we’ve been working on."

21:15

Taylor on Keating display

"She’s one I’ve always tipped who has potential to do really well.

"She has the attributes, took catches and crosses and, for us, we showed the composure on the ball.

"I’m really pleased with that."

Taylor on performance

"I'm pleased with the victory, of course it’s important at this stage of the season.

"I’m pleased with the amount of goals, we played good stuff in periods, but surrendered a bit of ground unnecessarily from our point of view.

"When we were aggressive, it’s where our good play was. I was impressed, good stuff and lots in the game, Khiara made saves, their goalkeeper made saves, we got the three points and improved on the goal difference."

Chloe Kelly speaking to Sky Sports 🗣

"It was a great result for us, we want to score goals and we did just that tonight. I was confident in front of goal so I tried my luck as much as I can, try and be a pest for the opposition and help the team.

"The first goal, the goalkeeper's position made up my mind to take it early when I saw her off her line, and then the second one, I saw she wasn't set so hit it first time and low, because we've been working on that.

"I've got so much to learn, I'm excited for the future and how much I can learn and I'm doing exactly that with these players and managers.

"My positioning in the box is really important, as a forward you want to be in the right position at the right time and I can be better on that. I'm pleased with the performance but hungry to learn."

Emphatic

That was City's biggest league win of the season and it's clear to see why.

West Ham didn't come to just make up the numbers, but some of our attacking play was excellent!

20:46

That certainly makes for good reading 😍

Reaction to follow 🗣

...And breathe!

That was a really entertaining evening of football! Chloe Kelly perhaps the standout performer for City, and we'll hear from her and captain Steph Houghton shortly!
