\n Irish internationalist Saoirse Noonan pulled a goal back for the host with just under ten minutes of regulation time remaining but City held firm despite a late flurry of pressure from Celtic. Maria McAneny scorned a glorious chance in added time when she sclaffed an effort wide.\n<\/p>\n
\n In truth, by that stage City ought to have been out of sight.\n<\/p>\n
\n Celtic goalkeeper Lisa Rodgers denied City with two impressive second-half stops with Sadiku\u2019s side left to rue another big game where a result has eluded them.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cI do not know if there is a mental block,\u201d said Sadiku. \u201cI feel right now that we are in a situation where teams are investing strongly and you can see how tight it is every season.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cTeams are getting better and better and we need to push in the same direction as well.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cIt is not about a having fear factor but the fact that other teams are investing really well.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe had a chance to level the game through Maria at the end but I don\u2019t think that we really deserved to take anything from the game.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n Leanne Ross\u2019 side are now five points clear of second-placed Hibs at the top of the table.\n<\/p>\n
