Tonight we did have chances and we showed that. “It was my debut starting. It was difficult, being young and against experienced centre-halves, some of the best defenders in the country at the minute. "I enjoyed it as well, though, and the team behind were doing their job. “It was really good for me to get that experience and it’s helping me to improve. ” WHAT'S NEXT? Birmingham City will face Manchester City in the FA Women's Super League next while Leicester will take on London Bees in the FA Women's Championship.
More slick passing and movement from Birmingham saw Quinn play in Wellings, who coolly stroked the ball into the corner for 4-0. Wellings should have netted her second goal of the evening when she was played in again by Quinn but couldn’t hit the target. Marc Skinner’s side didn’t relent after the break, with a Staniforth free-kick stinging Clarke’s palms. Leicester failed to clear the resulting corner and Hayles grabbed her second goal with the help of a deflection. Aoife Mannion put the final gloss on the scoreline making it six as she sent Clarke the wrong way from the penalty spot after Serena Fletcher had caught Quinn in the area. MOMENT OF THE MATCH The best moment of the match came when Chloe Arthur sent a long-range shot into the top corner. Arthur sent the strike at Charlotte Clarke from some distance but the loopy trajectory of the ball deceived the Leicester keeper and nestled home.
WHAT THEY SAID Birmingham City striker, Shania Hayles said: “It was a good overall performance from us going from the Yeovil game. Obviously, I’m happy to get on the scoresheet twice – I scored my first goal against Sheffield in the Conti Cup and it’s nice to add to that today. “We were a little bit disappointed with the Yeovil game. Although we got the win, we had a bad performance. We’re happy that we’ve come into this, got goals, had a decent performance and we’re ready now to go into the Man City game.

Shania Hayles on playing Manchester City next: “It’s going to be tough – Man City away is always tough – but I think we’ve got a good enough squad to beat them. “It’s a must-win game for us to stay high in the table. We want to win something this season and we’ve got a good enough squad to do that. “It was disappointing to go up 2-0 and then end up losing 3-2 but it doesn’t mean anything to us – we believe we can beat them. We’ll go into that game ready and hungry to win. Second place is up for grabs, so it’s even more important. “We spoke to Marc [Skinner] about what we want – all wins [going] into the Christmas break to get ready for the second half of the season, so we’re in a good place. “We’ve got to carry on this form into the City game and the last Bristol game and see where we are in the next half of the season.
