Goodbye 👋

That's all she wrote!

A tough one to take for City, with the game looking destined for a 0-0 until Chelsea's late surge.

Plenty of time to turn things around though, and we'll dust ourselves down ahead of a Champions League clash at Hammarby on Thursday.

As always thank you for your company this evening, and see you all on Thursday in Stockholm!

Gareth Taylor on City's response 🗣

"The league is never won in November. We've been on an incredible run. We're obviously disappointed not to extend that, but that's football.

"We'll be back to the drawing board and make sure we're ready for the next game."

Gareth Taylor reaction 🗣

"I think it was a game with a lot of errors from both teams.

"We weren't able to capitalise, I felt they made the most of those final bits of play. We just felt it was a tight game, probably heading for a 0-0, but an error on the halfway line and before you know it Ramirez scores.

"You're then playing against the momentum which is really tough.

"I don't think there was too much between the teams tonight, one team, when it mattered, took their chances."

Jill Roord speaking to Sky Sports

"In the end they got the first goal, and it was tough for us to turn it around.

"I think for both teams the game was in the middle of the pitch. I got the ball but didn’t get it into the last phase. It was just a tough game.

"In the end it’s about scoring, and they’re very good in counter attacks which is how the first goal came.

"It’s really early in the season. Apart from this game we’ve done really well and I feel really confident. There are so many games to play, it’s disappointing but it’s just one game."

Karen Bardsley on Matchday Live 🗣

"They'll all be disappointed, look back at the game and unpick where they can execute things better in the next fixture.

"It might just be another opportunity to rotate the squad a bit more like we saw in midweek."

19:40

Michael Brown on Matchday Live 🗣

"It was a deadly finish for the first goal.

"The one thing we'll take is we didn't create enough clearcut chances despite the amount of possession."
