Mewis return adds to Manchester City’s impressive squad
Given Manchester City’s recent form, the return of Sam Mewis from injury was not exactly a necessity, but return she did – and in style. Making an immediate impact, Mewis scored two goals as City broke down a stubborn Birmingham City side.
The transformation of potentially weak links in the squad into excellent starters has been part of what has been so impressive about Gareth Taylor’s side. Mewis’ injury was initially thought to be a big loss but it has barely been noticed. Meanwhile, Laura Coombs looked impressive in midfield, offering yet another option in an increasingly competitive area.
