Manchester City fell painfully short in the Women's Super League title race despite beating Aston Villa on Saturday.
Manchester City missed out on the Women's Super League title despite beating Aston Villa in their final fixture.Rachel Daly equalised for Villa midway through the second half, before Lauren Hemp bundled in City's winner.
But by this point Chelsea had already scored twice, and as the goals kept flying in it left City facing an ever-increasing task to overtake their rivals at the top of the WSL. As City's belief waned in the second half, Daly took advantage by streaking away down the left before cutting inside and finishing right-footed past keeper Khiara Keating.
This game also served as a farewell for Villa manager Carla Ward, who is stepping down after three years in charge, and for Manchester City defender Steph Houghton, the former England captain who made her final appearance before retiring from professional football.All times UK.
