Manchester City are on the verge of lifting the Women's Super League trophy for the first time since 2016, following a dramatic 1-0 home victory over Liverpool. The decisive moment came in stoppage time when Rebecca Knaak found the back of the net, securing a crucial three points for her side.
The nervy encounter at home saw City push for a breakthrough, which ultimately arrived in the dying moments of the match. Knaak's last-gasp winner not only sealed the victory but also solidified Manchester City's dominant position at the top of the WSL standings.
With this result, Manchester City now sit on 52 points, nine clear of second-placed Chelsea. Chelsea are yet to play their fixture against bottom-of-the-table Leicester later on Sunday, but even a win for the London club would not close the gap sufficiently to overtake City with only one game remaining in the season.
This significant win effectively puts one hand on the WSL trophy for Manchester City, marking a strong return to form for a side that last claimed the league title eight years ago. The focus will now turn to their final match, where they will aim to officially secure the championship.
