West Ham United defeat London City Lionesses 2-1 at home in a Women’s Super League match, securing their first league win of the season. The game is reported across outlets covering the result, live match coverage, and post-match highlights.
According to detailed reporting, West Ham take the lead through Kelly Gago, who scores after 21 minutes. Gago races between London City centre-backs Mapi León and Isa Kardinaal to reach a pass from nearly halfway, then rounds Elene Lete to put the hosts ahead. The Guardian also notes Lete’s continued role as London City’s goalkeeper following her 2025 signing from Real Sociedad.

The Guardian concentrates on the build-up to the goals and player context, outlining the early strike that shapes the rest of the contest.
