"Hemp scored a brilliant third goal for Andree Jeglertz's team in first-half stoppage time, firing home from range after Rebecca Knaak and Khadija Shaw had got on the scoresheet. The England international was back in City's starting lineup after missing around a month and a half with an ankle injury, and she laid on three chances for her team-mates. Only Viviane Miedema (four) created more, with the Netherlands international also the only player to contest more duels than Hemp's 11, with 13."
""It's so exciting, but it's important we stay humble," Hemp told BBC Sport. "We know where we're at and we're in a good place as a team. Hopefully we'll continue this run." On being back, the 25-year-old added: "I absolutely loved it. It's so nice to be back with all the girls. Today we showed the mentality that we needed to show. "We got a clean sheet as well, which is so important for us and, most importantly, we got the three points.""
