Sponsored by. VIVIANNE MIEDEMA is relieved to be back in action and scoring for Manchester City after a “frustrating” three months out of action. The prolific forward helped the Cityzens get their FA Cup charge motoring with a Sunday fourth-round win against Ipswich Town.

Her first goal since September sealed a 3-0 victory with the Netherlands star back in action for the first time since her knee operation in October. A well-timed pass from Chloe Kelly was followed by Miedema’s bottom corner effort fired past Tractor Girls goalkeeper Natalia Negri.

The result saw Man City return to winning ways after back-to-back losses to Barcelona and Everton in Europe and the top-flight before Christmas. The WSL record goalscorer and her team-mates will find out who they face in the contest’s fifth round with the draw taking place on Monday.

Miedema said: “Obviously it’s been a while and it’s been frustrating for me to have to sit out. “But I’ve come back in (and for the goal) Chloe played a really good ball into me, so I’m happy to start scoring again and hopefully I’ll stay fit now.

“It now feels like that’s the end of my rehab and I can move on. “When you come back from injury, and especially for players like me, people expect you to score goals again, and I’m happy that I scored and I can move forward now.”. The last FA Cup encounter between City and Ipswich ended with the latter on the wrong end of a 10-0 thumping five years ago.
