City have now had three red cards in just two games after Leila Ouahabi was sent off at West Ham last week.<\/p>\n<p>Greenwood was sent off in the 38th minute when she was given a second yellow card for alleged time-wasting while Hemp was booked twice for a foul and dissent.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If we\u2019re consistent throughout the season in terms of this refereeing and this new stance, we\u2019re going to have a lot of games like that when we\u2019re eight v eight,\u2019 Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/14\/76302425-0-image-a-43_1696772554859.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Guro Reiten scored a 96-minute equaliser to rescue a point against Manchester City\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/14\/76302255-0-image-a-44_1696772565824.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Chloe Kelly had put City ahead and but the home side couldn&#8217;t cling on to all three points\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/16\/76304215-0-image-a-47_1696778255012.jpg\" height=\"434\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Gareth Taylor&#8217;s side couldn&#8217;t hold on to the win after losing two players to red cards\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I just think let&#8217;s move it a little bit slower because if not, we&#8217;re just going to have an eight-a-side league unfortunately, if they&#8217;re consistent.<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>Manchester City (4-3-3-): <\/span>Keating; Morgan, Kennedy, Greenwood, Aleixandri; Hasegawa, Angeldahl (Mace 80), Roord (Blakstad 85) Fowler (Casparij 45), Hemp, Kelly (Shaw 80)<\/p>\n<p>Subs not used: MacIver, Houghton, Coombs, Castellanos, Park<\/p>\n<p>Booked: Kelly, Aleixandri, Roord,<\/p>\n<p>Sent off: Greenwood, Hemp<\/p>\n<p>Goals: Kelly 7<\/p>\n<p>Manager: Gareth Taylor<\/p>\n<p><span>Chelsea (4-3-3):<\/span> Musovic; Lawrence (Perisset 70), Bright, Carter, Charles; Ingle (Cankovic 45), Cuthbert (Leupolz 61), Fleming (Kirby 61), James, Fishel (Kerr 45), Reiten<\/p>\n<p>Subs not used: Berger, Nusken, Mjelde, Kaneryd<\/p>\n<p>Booked: Charles, James, Cankovic<\/p>\n<p>Goals: Reiten 90+6<\/p>\n<p>Manager: Emma Hayes<\/p>\n<p>Referee: Emily Heaslip<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I just think it spoils things. Three red cards in two games is going to send a message, if anyone is not watching us play, that we\u2019re a dirty team. Anyone who was watching us in the last two games would never say that.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Greenwood\u2019s first caution was for a foul on Jessie Fleming. Her second came when City won a free-kick in their defensive half. There were 26 seconds between the awarding of the free-kick and Greenwood taking it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After looking at her options, the defender had shaped to play long but then halted her run up and played short. The length of time was enough for Heaslip to brandish a second yellow card, deeming Greenwood to have deliberately wasted time.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The officials have come into us and have made themselves clear at the very beginning of the year,\u2019 Chelsea boss Emma Hayes said. \u2018Any time-wasting will be bookable offences, any back-chat and bad-mouthing will be bookable offences. That was made 100 percent clear to us at the beginning of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s how our team understood this season and I am very proud of our players that were on yellow cards for the discipline that you have to have in this game.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Greenwood was given her marching orders 29 minutes after City had taken the lead through Chloe Kelly, whose long-range shot deflected off Jess Carter and sailed over Zecira Musovic.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea struggled to make their extra player count for much of the game, with Lauren James coming closest to equalising with a shot that rattled the crossbar.<\/p>\n<p>City\u2019s task became even harder when Hemp became the second player to see red. The forward had been booked for dissent earlier in the game after believing she had won a goal-kick when a corner was awarded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her second yellow came for a soft foul on James. The forward took a risk to make the challenge while already on a yellow, but had been the victim of a much worse tackle from Ashley Lawrence, which did not result in a booking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/16\/76302271-0-image-a-46_1696778113281.jpg\" height=\"480\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Lauren Hemp leaves the pitch after seeing red in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Sunday\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/08\/16\/76302265-0-image-a-45_1696778107323.jpg\" height=\"440\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Alex Greenwood was shown a controversial second yellow card for what time wasting\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In truth, City played better with nine players than a below-par Chelsea did with 11, but Hayes\u2019 side managed to force an equaliser in the sixth minute of added time.<\/p>\n<p>City had just seven outfield players on the pitch to defend a corner after Alanna Kennedy was forced to go off for treatment and Chelsea made their extra players count.<\/p>\n<p>Khiara Keating had done exceptionally well to keep out Millie Bright\u2019s header but a scruffy rebound was eventually forced over the line by Guro Reiten.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea nearly won it as the clock passed 100 minutes, with Sam Kerr\u2019s header hitting the outside of the post but nine-player City held on.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12607717\/Manchester-City-1-1-Chelsea-Guro-Reitens-injury-time-goal-cancels-Chloe-Kelly-strike-Blues-rescue-point-against-9-woman-City.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea: Guro Reiten&#8217;s 90+6 injury-time equaliser salvages a point for WSL champions in ill-tempered affair that saw hosts reduced to NINE women after Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp saw red Injury-time Guro Reiten goal rescues a point for Chelsea against 9-woman City\u00a0 England lionesses Alex Greenwood and Lauren Hemp both saw red [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":292904,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
