Injury hell finally over for Manchester City star in emotional West Ham win
02.04.2022 - 20:55 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Gareth Taylor hailed Chloe Kelly’s strength of character as she returned from long-term injury to help Manchester City ease to a 2-0 win over West Ham.
Goals in both halves from Georgia Stanway and Bunny Shaw saw City seal a fifth successive victory in the Barclays FA Women’s Super League. An assured performance saw Taylor’s side pull level on points with city rivals United, who sit third, in the race for a place in the Champions League.

The game marked midfielder Kelly’s return to the game after she suffered a sickening ACL injury last May against Birmingham City. The 23-year-old missed the Olympics as a result but her return to the fold could see her launch a late bid for England selection at their home Euros.

Next up for Taylor and City in a fortnight’s time is another clash with West Ham in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
