Manchester City Women 4-0 Lugano (agg 11-1)• Pauline Bremer scores fourth goal against Swiss sideJanine Beckie and Pauline Bremer rose to the challenge of leading the line for Manchester City in the absence of the injured
England trio Ellen White, Georgia Stanway and Lauren Hemp. Beckie’s hat-trick and a goal from the substitute Bremer ensured Nick Cushing’s team swept past Swiss side Lugano 11-1 on aggregate and into the
Champions League round of 16.
“It’s great to be able to contribute,” said Beckie. “Those three are a huge loss for us as a team, but Pauline’s been on
fire, she is a raw goalscorer, Caroline Weir has been our best player so far this season and it’s nice to be in that group of players, I’m a striker, it’s good to score goals. And it’s great to make Nick’s job harder.”
