WATCH THE CLIP

The goal could prove crucial in the race for the WSL title. Victory on Sunday means that City will go nine points clear of Chelsea and require just a point in their final game of the season at Aston Villa to lift the title for the first time since 2016. Houghton joined the club a decade ago and will be dreaming of ending her career on a high.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

City will be watching Chelsea's remaining games with particular interest. The Blues have to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-emma-hayes-wsl-shock-defeat-liverpool/blt00e2d0719765225e" target="_blank">win all three of their remaining games</a> and hope City lose at Villa to have a chance of retaining their title. For City, the task is simple - just avoid defeat.
