Our perfect start to the 2021/22 Barclays FA Women’s Super League season came to an end on Sunday as we were beaten 2-0 by Birmingham City.
We came into this fixture at the top of the table and unbeaten in our last 18 league outings - but we left St Andrew’s knowing it was the hosts who deserved all three points for our poor defensive showing.
After failing to take control of the game early on, Birmingham looked to harm us on the break and with their first sight of goal, Libby Smith raced in behind our defence and coolly finished past Manuela Zinsberger.
