anyway stats ๐Ÿ“Š city women had more possession (55% vs 45%) but lionesses created more chances (12 vs 8) ๐Ÿ‘€ also lionesses have now taken top spot in the league table ๐Ÿ† after winning 3 games out of their last 4 ๐Ÿ’ช

btw i found some cool stats on this match... ๐Ÿค” lionesses had a 70% tackle success rate, which is crazy for a female team ๐Ÿคฏ and they also scored their goal from just outside the box, which is super tough to defend against ๐Ÿ”’

What an utterly captivating encounter between two formidable teams! ๐Ÿฆ The Lionesses' tenacity and composure under pressure have truly earned my admiration - it's a testament to their remarkable squad dynamics & coaching strategies ๐Ÿ’ช. Manchester City Women, on the other hand, displayed impressive resilience & determination, which is nothing short of laudable ๐Ÿ™Œ. Overall, I'd argue that the Lionesses' victory was not merely a result of individual brilliance, but rather a collective effort built upon a strong foundation of teamwork & tactics ๐Ÿ†.
 
I'm not surprised they won ๐Ÿค”. I mean, the Lionesses have been playing some solid football this season and Manchester City Women just can't seem to get that one goal ๐Ÿ’ช. It's like they're still finding their groove. Plus, the crowd at Hayes Lane was electric ๐Ÿ˜ - it really seemed to give the Lionesses an extra boost of energy when it mattered most.

I think the real test for them will be coming weeks ahead when they face off against some of the tougher teams in the league ๐Ÿ†. Will they be able to sustain their form, or is this just a one-off? I'm hoping they can stay on top ๐Ÿ”... but at the same time, you don't want to count out City Women just yet ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. They've got a great squad and are always pushing for more ๐Ÿ’ช
 
omg that was such an intense match!!! ๐Ÿคฏ i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, both teams were giving it their all but in the end the lionesses came out on top ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ they deserved it tho, city women had some great chances but just couldn't score ๐Ÿ™„ what a game to watch! ๐Ÿ‘€
 
OMG I'm literally on the edge of my seat when they went into extra time ๐Ÿคฏ!!! The intensity was so high, it was like watching a thriller movie! I was rooting for the Lionesses from the start, but Manchester City Women gave them a run for their money - those girls are total rockstars ๐Ÿ’ช. But in the end, the Lionesses' determination paid off and they deserved that win ๐Ÿ†. I'm still buzzing from the excitement... who's ready for the next match? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
