Mary Fowler wore gloves in Manchester City's victory

Mary Fowler, a player for Manchester City, surprised fans by wearing black gloves during a recent UEFA Champions League match against Chelsea. City won the game 2-0, handing Chelsea their first defeat this season. Fowler explained her reason for wearing gloves. She said she gets fidgety during matches and normally trains with a ring, which she cannot wear during games. If the weather is cold, she prefers wearing gloves instead. Fowler was substituted in the 64th minute of the match. Dutch striker Vivianne Miedema scored both goals for Manchester City, putting them in a strong position to advance to the semi-finals. The match also had some attention on Chelsea's star player Sam Kerr, who was absent due to a knee injury she suffered in January 2024. Chelsea's manager Sonia Bompastor expressed frustration over the loss but emphasized the need for a positive mindset moving forward. The second leg of the quarter-final will take place at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge on March 28.
