Manchester City Women end season unbeaten after draw with Birmingham

Manchester City finished their FA Women's Super League 1 campaign with a 1-1 draw against Birmingham City to go through the season unbeaten.

The champions and League Cup winners fell behind in their final game as Aoife Mannion gave the visitors a surprise lead at the Academy Stadium.

Demi Stokes levelled though to ensure City avoided defeated and finished unbeaten, dropping just six points from a possible 48 over the course of the campaign.

Steph Houghton could have won the game for the hosts but her strike was disallowed for a foul in the build-up.

After collecting the league trophy, the City and England captain said: "Ever since we won it against Chelsea I think we've all been waiting for this moment.

"We've got unbelievable people and an unbelievable club, so we've got to be ambitious and aim to win trophies on a regular occasion.

"To avoid defeat as well is a massive thing for us and I'm just delighted. I knew that coming to City I wanted to win trophies and I knew that'd be a process.

"To come to the third year and win two is just unbelievable. It's the biggest moment in my club career to win this trophy for this team.

"We want to be playing against the best teams in Europe and ultimately our aim over the next few years is not only to be one of the best teams in England, but one of the best in Europe."

Elsewhere, Chelsea secured second place and qualification to the Champions League with a 3-2 victory over Reading. 

Eniola Aluko and Ana Borges scored either side of half-time for the Blues, and despite Lauren Bruton's successful penalty, Chelsea made the result safe when Aluko tapped in before Melissa Fletcher's injury-time consolation.

England forward Jodie Taylor came off the bench and struck twice as Arsenal won 2-0 against Doncaster Belles.

The 30-year-old - who has missed most of the season through injury - opened the scoring midway through the second half, six minutes after coming on.

Her second goal eight minutes later confirmed Arsenal's win and condemned bottom side Doncaster to their 15th consecutive defeat.

Yeovil Town will be playing Super League 1 football next season after their 2-0 win at London Bees secured promotion.

With Everton failing to beat Bristol City on Saturday, Yeovil knew victory would secure them a top-two finish and Super League 2.

Goals from Kayleigh Green and Nadia Lawrence after the break gave them the points and they will now vie with Bristol City for the lower-tier title in the final round of games.
