5 d. ago WSL talking points: London City look promising despite loss and Liverpool vow to fight on

Brighton still find goals despite Agyemang blow, West Ham eye an upturn and Everton leave it late to levelIf Jocelyn Prêcheur needed an example of how far his London City Lionesses team have come in a few weeks, it was Saturday’s encounter against Chelsea.
