London City Lionesses fell to a 1-0 opening day defeat to a new-look Crystal Palace team in the opening game of the Barclays Women’s Championship season.
Five minutes into the second half, Isabella Sibley scored the winning goal. After a long-range shot came off the crossbar, Sibley follow up and slotted past Shae Yanez.
We were fortunate to have photographer Ed Payne on hand to capture the action.
