London City Lionesses secure WSL opening win against Manchester United

London City Lionesses made history by becoming the first Women’s Super League (WSL) team to field a starting XI without any English players, as they defeated Manchester United 2-1 at the Copperjax Community Stadium. The match saw former Barcelona captain Alexia Putellas celebrate her debut WSL victory, with Julia Zigiotti scoring an own goal in the ninth minute and Danielle van de Donk doubling the lead in the 82nd minute. Despite a late equalizer from Simi Awujo in stoppage time, London City’s dominance was evident throughout, particularly in the first half where Manchester United struggled to register a shot on target. The victory marks a significant moment for the club, which has been at the center of transfer speculation this summer. Coach Eder Maestre’s tactical approach and the team’s cohesive performance highlighted their potential as title contenders. However, the match was marred by Lucia Corrales being stretchered off after an injury in the 60th minute. The result underscores London City’s growing influence in English women’s football and sets a strong foundation for the season.
