Kelly assisted Jill Roord for City's opener in a 3-1 win in front of 43,000 fans at Old Trafford, and Taylor admitted in his news conference ahead of their WSL clash with Spurs that the England forward "is in a good place".

"We create a lot of chances, she creates a lot of chances - she can create more, she can score more.
"I think with all the opportunities that we provide at the top end of the pitch, we should be getting more out of what we are putting in.
"But, of course, having players like Chloe, who really gets the bit between her teeth [helps] - I think you saw that on Sunday as the real driving force behind a lot of the good things that we did."
