The England international was once again a pivotal figure in City’s third successive month of remaining undefeated in the Barclays Women’s Super League.
Hemp played every minute of our three league fixtures.
The first began with a thrilling individual performance by the experienced 26-year-old.
A goal down against Arsenal at the Etihad, Hemp drew City level just before the break with a fine finish.
She then teed up Kerstin Casparij to make it 2-2 before Hemp’s second goal of the afternoon finally put City ahead. Bunny Shaw completed the scoring for a deserved 4-2 victory over the Gunners as Hemp also picked up the Player of the Match award.
Hemp’s fine form continued after the October international break in which City recorded a hard-fought win over Brighton.
Her pace, tenacity and clinical edge caused the Seagulls problems from kick-off. And once again Hemp’s passion to tee up her teammates was on show as she assisted Shaw twice to give City an early lead.
Niamh Charles made it 3-0 before Brighton pulled back two goals. Hemp showcased her versatility in the defensive third as she helped City hold on valiantly for three important points.
In our final WSL game of October, Hemp was once again a commanding figure as City secured a 1-1 draw at Manchester United to maintain our unbeaten run.
The latest personal honour for Hemp follows her October PFA Fans’ Player of the Month award and September Etihad Player of the Month recognition.
Everyone at Manchester City would like to congratulate Lauren on her Player of the Month award.
