City lost to Chelsea in the second game of the season, but have gone unbeaten in the league since and dragged themselves back into the title picture - leapfrogging their opponents with this win
Man City produced their best performance of the season to beat Chelsea 2-0 in the Women's Super League and leave a four-way title race on a knife edge.
Midfielder Filippa Angeldahl gave the hosts the lead with a stunning strike from edge of the penalty area just 20 minutes in. And England star Lauren Hemp arrowed in an excellent volley only nine minutes later to leave the champions reeling.
Chelsea belatedly did try and force a big finish, but with Sam Kerr having an rare quiet day, they failed to find a way back into the contest. City nearly got a third late on but Bunny Shaw narrowly headed over after good work from Chloe Kelly. The result leaves Gareth Taylor and his team level on points with Man Utd, only second on goal difference.
City were beaten by Chelsea in the reverse fixture back in September which left them rock bottom of the WSL, but have gone unbeaten since and dragged themselves back into the title picture. This win leaves them a point clear of the visitors, although the holders do still have a game in-hand.
