MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - England international Chloe Kelly created one goal and scored a second as Manchester City put on a superb first-half display to beat a stuttering Arsenal side 2-1 and move into third spot in the Women's Super League on Saturday.

Having been beaten 1-0 after extra time in the Continental Cup semi-final by Arsenal on Wednesday, Manchester City struck early as Kelly teed up Lauren Hemp to open the scoring after four minutes.
