Chelsea boss Emma Hayes told BT Sport:
"They had only two chances and we had about a hundred. I have to credit Man City for the way they responded.
"I am sure my dressing room will think 'how have we not won 6-2?' But we were not clinical.

What a dreadful miss.
Nikita Parris does well to get in behind the defence from a cross from the left.
But the City winger gets it horribly wrong and screws the ball wide from six yards. A real stinker of a miss.

The shot is straight down the middle and at stomach height. A very, very simple save.
Are Man City going to suffer back-to back league defeats for the first time since 2015?
