Lauren Hemp played a starring role as Man City came from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1 and climb top of the Women's Super League. For the second league game in succession - following last Sunday's 2-1 win over Liverpool at Anfield - Gareth Taylor's side fell behind, and this time it was very much against the run of play. Kirsty Hanson led a counter-attack down the left and clipped a ball into the near post, where a deft touch from summer signing Gabi Nunes beat Ayaka Yamashita.
