London City Lionesses’ unbeaten start to the campaign came to an end in gameweek four, with Natasha Fenton leading Sunderland AFC to a hard-fought 1-0 win at the Eppleton Colliery Ground on Sunday [29 September].
Jocelyn Prêcheur made three alterations to the side that beat Bristol City a week earlier, with Grace Neville, Connie Scofield, and Isobel Goodwin elevated to the line-up in place of Maddi Wilde, Julia Roddar, and Sofia Jakobsson.
While London City set the afternoon’s tempo and enjoyed the lion’s share of high-danger chances, only the hosts found the back of the net, with captain Fenton converting at the back-post after a wicked corner delivery from Katie Kitching shortly before the hour-mark.
Kosovare Asllani went closest to tying the score, with her one-on-one breakaway attempt thumping the base of the post before falling behind for an 84th-minute goal-kick.
The Pride return to Hayes Lane next Sunday [6 October], with Portsmouth visiting the London Borough of Bromley in the Barclays Women’s Championship.
