Manchester City made it five Women's Super League wins in a row after cruising to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Jess Park opened the scoring in the 40th minute with a highlight-reel effort from distance and Jill Roord doubled the visitors' advantage five minutes after the restart. Katie Stengel came closest for this season's top-flight newcomers, clipping a post in the second half of a contest that saw 2,775 fans flock to the Eagles' main venue.
Keating punched away a cross and the ball fell favourably into the path of Annabel Blanchard, who blasted Palace's first shot of the afternoon over the bar from an awkward angle. They then came even closer, half-time substitute Ashleigh Weerden stirring the home support when she raced down the left and laid off to Stengel. The American striker's resulting effort pinged off the near post, and Blanchard's head was in her hands when she failed to finish from the rebound.
