Jill Roord of Manchester City is challenged by Riko Ueki of West Ham

Jill Roord scored on her debut to help 10-player Manchester City to a 2-0 victory over West Ham on the first day of the Women's Super League season.

Gareth Taylor's side lacked a goal-scoring edge until Lauren Hemp netted a superb curling strike in the 48th minute.

Club record-signing Roord added City's second after Chloe Kelly had a penalty saved by Mackenzie Arnold.

Leila Ouahabi was shown a straight red card for kicking out at Emma Harries.

However, West Ham couldn't make the most of having an extra player in the final 20 minutes.
