WSL talking points: Kang could have a problem and how long can Slegers hang on?
Arsenal dropped points again despite dominating while Lauren James had to go off in Chelsea’s 6-0 win at Charlton London City Lionesses may have lost 2-1 to champions Manchester City, but their performances and league position have shown their European aspirations are far from unrealistic. Aided by Arsenal’s poor start, London City are third in the WSL table and were frustrated to end the day with a six-point gap to the top two after dominating in Bromley. “It’s doubly frustrating, because I think the result was not the one we deserve,” said their coach, Eder Maestre. “Manchester City are more mature. They are more used to it. When you have this consistency and you are very used to playing these kinds of games, maybe you have more experience.” Maestre’s team have a three-point lead over fourth-placed Tottenham and if they continue their upwards trajectory and qualify for the Champions League, Uefa will be forced to tackle the possible scenario of two Michelle Kang-owned clubs, London City and OL Lyonnes, qualifying sooner than they perhaps anticipated.
