Nigeria’s Rofiat Imuran was instrumental as London City Lionesses secured a 1–0 win over West Ham United in a Women’s Super League (WSL) clash on Sunday.
The 21 year old defender, who has quickly become a key figure for the newly promoted side, did not play the full 90 minutes — she was substituted later in the match but her efforts contributed to the clean sheet.
The difference in the game arrived in the 68th minute when veteran Swedish forward Kosovare Asllani capitalised on a hesitation by West Ham goalkeeper Kinga Szemik to nip the ball and calmly slot it into the net.
This victory marks an important statement for London City. It lifts them into the top half of the WSL table (6th place) and adds to their growing confidence this season.

West Ham, meanwhile, continue to endure a tough run of form, stretching their winless sequence in the league.
