Glasgow City cemented their place at the top of the Scottish Building Society Premier League with a 2-1 win over Hibernian., thanks to two first half goals from Kirsty Howat.
City went into the match five points in the League clear of Hibs in second, and with a strong crowd at Petershil Park had the game in their command at the break, with Kirsty Howat proving prolific in front of goal. The City forward expertly netted after only 8 minutes and then doubled her side's advantage on the half hour mark.
A second yellow for Hibs defender Siobhan Hunter midway through the second half didn't help the visitors, but they managed to get a goal back with 9 minutes remaining when Jamie Lee Napier broke through on goal to shoot past Lee Alexander in City nets. Howat almost got a hat trick but struck the cross bar with minutes remaining and in the end, City managed the game out for a very important three points.
Celtic's home win against Rangers, moves the Glasgow East End side now into second, creating a mouth watering match when City host Celtic in two weeks time at Petershill Park.
