City dominated the first period and although Deanne Rose almost caught them on the break moments earlier, they took the lead through Hemp's superb control and finish on 33 minutes.

Entries by 3pm Saturday.Since beating Watford in September, Wolves have gone flat in forward areas. In their last seven matches, they have posted just 54 shots - that's 16 fewer than any other team.
There was no obvious role for him in Solskjaer's 4-2-3-1 formation - he is too offensively-minded to play in the midfield two, and not quick or powerful enough to occupy one of the wide positions - and interim manager Ralf Rangnick has now reverted to the same system having unsuccessfully trialled a 4-2-2-2 set-up following his appointment.
Hearts manufactured a chance in the 18th minute when they worked the ball towards Ben Woodburn but the on-loan Liverpool winger’s lofted effort sailed over Dundee goalkeeper Adam Legzdins’ crossbar.
I think Solskjaer had a plan, with all those away games undefeated, to have Sancho on one side, Rashford on the other, counter-attacking football and Edinson Cavani two of every three games, and then a Greenwood coming in when Cavani doesn't play.
We are a team and we didn't defend well as a team. We have been through the goals already and there were lots of bits that weren't good about them.
Opposing a high-scoring game could therefore be of interest, and while they are the most prolific side in La Liga, six of Real Madrid's last seven matches in all competitions have seen under 2.5 goals.
If the World Cup started right now, it is more likely than not that Brooks would be in the USMNT squad. But he is no longer undroppable, and he faces a fight to earn back his place.
The Stars and Stripes did just that on Thursday, with Robinson's 52nd-minute goal easing any doubts before they had a chance to set in.
