Manchester City continued their strong start to the Women’s Super League with a 1‑0 win over Charlton Athletic at the City of Manchester Stadium. The only goal came from a free‑kick by Alex Greenwood in the 36th minute, securing the victory for the reigning champions.

Greenwood’s set‑piece was a well‑placed delivery that curled past the Charlton defence and found the back of the net, giving City the lead early in the match. The win keeps the club at the top of the league table as the season progresses.

Charlton were unable to find a response, with their attack stifled by City’s disciplined defence. The match was a showcase of City’s tactical discipline and the quality of their set‑piece execution.

With this result, Manchester City remain unbeaten in the opening games of the Women’s Super League, setting a positive tone for the rest of the season.
