Mary Fowler scores again but her Matildas teammate is dramatically HOOKED as Manchester City suffer shock loss Matildas ace Mary Fowler has crashed home a late penalty but it was not enough to deliver a perfect Yuletide gift for Manchester City as they squandered a glorious opportunity to gain ground on Women's Super League champions Chelsea going into the Christmas break.
Everton's win dealt a crushing blow to City's hopes after Chelsea had opened the door at the top by drawing 1-1 with lowly Leicester the previous day, and Fowler's crew are still six points behind the champions going into the Christmas break.
Mary Fowler slotted home from the penalty spot, but Manchester City lost 2-1.
Fowler put away her third league goal of the season, and her second in successive weeks, from the spot after Yui Hasegawa had been dragged down by Karoline Olesen - yet it turned out to be just a consolation.
The experienced central defender was caught hopelessly out of position for Lucy Hope's headed goal after 31 minutes, and again looked on helpless at the heart of their defence as Honoka Hayashi grabbed the second eight minutes later.
