Compared to the high-drama of Sunday night, Wednesday night's game was a relatively tepid affair.
Manchester City repaid the favour of their chastening 4-2 league defeat at the Etihad just four days ago by knocking out their cross-town rivals of the Subway Women’s League Cup.
Two first-half goals was enough to ensure City’s progression to the semi-final, where they will play Arsenal next.
It was a special night for 18-year-old Lily Murphy, who assisted the first goal and scored the winner – a wonderful curling effort which beat possibly the most in-form goalkeeper in the women’s game at the moment, Phallon Tullis-Joyce.
