Chloe Kelly's goal trickled in and Khadija Shaw disappeared - Manchester City were lucky at the King Power Stadium
You would be forgiven to see the line-up and rub your eyes in disbelief. Manchester City, who lacked heart and personality last season, and Leicester City, a side who desperately clawed their way out of the relegation zone just months ago, occupying the top two spots of the top tier. Their head-to-head on Saturday was as passionate, end-to-end and as enthralling as a derby day.
Leicester made 12 shots for Khiara Keating to deny - which she did, valiantly. But all too often hearts were in mouths when Leicester applied the pressure on the 19-year-old.The ‘keeper nailed the performance, calm and collected as ever - perhaps that Sarina Wiegman call-up has blessed the youngster with extra confidence.
All it took was another goal to devastate the hosts and despite Shaw, Lauren Hemp and Kelly coming close to doubling their lead something felt awry with talisman Shaw.
