Sandy Baltimore's fantastic finish helped Chelsea supplant Man City at the top of the Women's Super League following a 1-0 win over Andree Jeglertz's side at Stamford Bridge.
Baltimore scored the only goal in the fourth minute of time added on at the end of the first half when she turned and rifled high beyond Ayaka Yamashita from a narrow angle in the area.
Yamashita's afternoon worsened as she was shown a straight red card after haring out of her box and clumsily colliding with Alyssa Thompson, who got to the ball first, with a quarter of an hour left.
With England head coach Sarina Wiegman looking on from the stands, Aggie Beever-Jones came close to doubling the Blues' lead but her free-kick from 25 yards hit the underside of the bar and bounced out.
Beever-Jones also beat substitute City goalkeeper Eartha Cumings when she fired across goal but the ball flew past the far post as Chelsea looked to make the game safe.
Khadija Shaw was given a slight opening at the other end as she looked to preserve City's unbeaten start to the season but Lucy Bronze provided a telling interception to snuff out the danger.

It meant Baltimore's stunning strike -- complete with a nonchalant celebration -- proved the difference. It was the first shot on target in the game and one of only three in the match.
Chelsea now sit one point above City at the top of the standings, with the defending champions losing for the first time in all competitions since April 25 -- when they were beaten 1-0 at Brighton.
