Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Delphine Cascarino’s assist proved decisive as London City Lionesses beat Manchester United Women 2-1 in the FA Women’s Super League, a result that extends their winning run without specifying a next opponent. The hosts claimed the points with a late surge, though the contest was far tighter than the final margin suggests, with United’s consolation arriving deep into stoppage time.

The turning point arrived in the 82nd minute when Cascarino set up Danielle van de Donk to restore the lead, after Julia Zigiotti Olme had opened the scoring in the ninth minute. Olme’s afternoon was mixed, as she collected a yellow card in the 30th minute, while Freya Godfrey was also booked for the Lionesses. United’s Simi Awujo pulled one back in the 90th minute from Dominique Janssen’s assist, but it proved too little, too late.

On the numbers, London City dominated possession with 60 per cent and created far more, registering 11 shots to United’s three. The xG told a similar story, with the hosts at 1.29 against a meagre 0.16, and they also led 9-3 on corners. Cascarino was the standout, earning a 7.3 rating as a midfielder without scoring, her creative influence underpinning the victory. The live signals backed the hosts at 1.32, and that call was confirmed by the result.
