Manchester City marked their 200th Women's Super League outing with a dominant win against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
City doubled their advantage just minutes into the second period when Jill Roord pounced on a loose ball in the box. The victory extends City's unbeaten start to the season, winning five and drawing one, and puts them three points clear of second-placed Brighton, while they have a six-point advantage over third-placed Chelsea, who face Everton at 18:45 GMT.Man City strengthen grip on top spot
Gareth Taylor's side did their best work on the flanks with Lauren Hemp and Aoba Fujino regularly getting to the byeline and delivering quality balls into the area. A clinical passing move, rounded off by the head of WSL top scorer Shaw, ensured the match was placed firmly out of Palace's reach and allowed the visitors to take their foot off the gas in the closing stages.Rate players out of 10 for this game.
