And it was Japan star Hasegawa who received special praise from Manchester City head coach Gareth Taylor, who said: “From the moment she’s been here, she’s been superb. We changed the way she plays a bit, which took some convincing. We have lost a good number six in Keira Walsh [in September] and Yui stepped in and took the team’s performance level to another level. Her quality under pressure is very, very high.”
The result lifted Taylor’s side above Arsenal and into third place, two points behind leaders Chelsea but with an extra game to play. It was Arsenal’s first away league defeat in 13 months. Ominously, they next travel to rivals Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Meanwhile, the Aston Villa midfielder Jordan Nobbs has been called up to the England camp at the Arnold Clark Cup matches in February, where he will replace Chelsea star Fran Kirby, who withdrew from the Lionesses team after a knee injury.
