The Manchester City Women's team has won 12 consecutive games, including Sunday's 2-1 victory over London City Lionesses. The result increased City's lead at the top of the Women's Super League to nine points.
"We've shown throughout the season that we never give up," said match-winner Khadija Shaw after the game. "It was a difficult game today, but we came out knowing what we had to do and got the job done." Shaw has played a significant role in City's success this season, scoring 13 league goals.
City's next game is against Chelsea on Sunday. Even if they lose that match, they will still hold a six-point lead and a far superior goal difference. The team's strength and quality in depth are evident, with forwards Aoba Fujino and Mary Fowler nearing returns from injury.
London City Lionesses, who were beaten by Manchester City, showed that there is hope for Chelsea to mount a comeback. However, City manager Marc Hogg said "There are a lot of games left, but there are no easy wins." He also acknowledged the difficulty of their next game against Chelsea, stating "We will be playing them again and we have to get the results right."
The win over London City Lionesses may signal that the title race is effectively over for other teams. However, with only nine points separating Manchester City from second-placed Arsenal and four-point differences in several matches, anything can still happen.
City's manager said "It is something in their eyes, a determination that we will find ways [to win]. There is something in this group that even though it is not a beautiful game, we still find ways to win, to keep on going." The team's winning mentality has been a key factor in their success this season.

, but you gotta give credit where credit is due - that London City Lionesses showed some serious spirit 
! Shaw's goal was pure magic 
, and it's clear she's a game-changer on the pitch. The fact that Aoba Fujino and Mary Fowler are getting closer to returning from injury is huge 
... can't wait to see them back in action! With City's winning mentality, I'm not surprised they're dominating - but we should keep an eye on Arsenal, those four points might just come down to one match 
the way Manchester City Women's team is playing right now is really inspiring 
khadija shaw is like a superstar on the field, her goals are always clutch 
i love how their manager marc hogg is keeping things real too, saying there are no easy wins and stuff like that 
but honestly, they're just doing what needs to be done and it's working 
She's got that confidence and determination that makes you want to watch her play. What's even more impressive is how they're not getting complacent, like City manager Marc Hogg said 
... although, you never know!
they're killing it on the pitch right now! its amazing how far khadija shaw has come this season she really is on fire 
and london city lionesses, i love how they showed some hope for chelsea to make a comeback 
the team's winning mentality is everything 
! Their depth and quality are impressive, especially with Aoba Fujino and Mary Fowler nearing returns from injury 
. Anything can still happen in football, but it's hard to see anyone catching up right now 
. What's got City's team tick is their never-give-up attitude

City's got this title thing wrapped up and it's gonna be a fun ride to watch them cruise to the end
