ARSENAL striker Chioma Ubogagu spoilt the Manchester City party on Sunday when she scored the winner at their new City Football Academy home. 

There were celebrations before the game as City hosted their first Women’s Super League fixture at the ground. 

But 36 minutes in it was the away team cheering as Ubogagu slipped the ball under keeper Alex Brooks to score the only goal of the game. 

The match was marred in the 57th minute when City and England midfielder Jill Scott was sent off for headbutting Jade Bailey, taking any chances her team had of earning something from the game with her when she left the field.
