    Diani doesn't slow down and that could've gone anywhere in all honesty. But it doesn't and she goes straight for a walk-in to the net.

  2. Aston Villa 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Could go either way this one yet. Both sides are eager for these three points.

  3. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Aston Villa 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Two more Villa changes as Amalie Vangsgaard and Noelle Maritz make way for Lily Murphy and Rachel Maltby.

    Summer signing Niamh Charles starts for Manchester City in her first game at the Etihad Stadium for the club.

    She’s joined in the starting XI by USA midfielder Sam Coffey, who comes in for Laura Blindkilde Brown.

    It’s a dangerous front three with Lauren Hemp, Khadija Shaw and Aoba Fujino all starting.

    Manchester City XI: Yamashita, Rose, Greenwood, Mead, Shaw, Hemp, Coffey, Fujino, Charles, Hasegawa, Wamser.

    Subs: Cumings, Clinton, Fowler, Wienroither, Casparij, Blindkilde Brown, Beney, Prior, Davies.

    Anneke Borbe continues to get the nod in goal.

    Striker Stina Blackstenius is on the bench alongside Olivia Smith.

    Arsenal XI: Borbe, Fox, Wubben-Moy, Stanway, Williamson, Caldentey, Little, Baum, Batlle, Russo, Cooney-Cross.

    GOAL - West Ham 0-2 Chelsea

    Keira Walsh (80 mins)

    The goals keep on coming! And this one will probably seal all three points for Chelsea.

    Midfielder Keira Walsh finally has her goal, receiving the ball off Wieke Kaptein on the edge of the box and hammering it into the bottom corner.

  6. goal

    GOAL - Tottenham 1-5 London City Lionesses

    Kadidiatou Diani (74 mins)

    Lize Kop, look away now.

    Alexia Putellas plays a nice ball over the top, looking for Kadidiatou Diani but Kop is well off her line and there to sweep up... or that's the plan.

    Instead, she thumps the ball of Diani and the ball flies back towards the Spurs goal so the forward can run onto it and roll it into an empty net.

  7. West Ham 0-1 Chelsea

    Best I can do is offer you a Chelsea sub, Steve.

    Katie McCabe replaces Kadeisha Buchanan.

    Looking at the West Ham game so far I think I have more chance of having a shot from my armchair here in Sussex than West Ham do. 70mins in and not a single attempt let alone one on target. If you don't shoot you don't score!

  10. Brighton 3-1 Charlton

    Charlton are forced into a change. Hawa Cissoko has injured herself making a successful last-ditch challenge on Olaug Tvedten.

    The French defender limps off very gingerly and is replaced by Ellie Mason.

  11. CLOSE!

    Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses

    Nicole Anyomi has been on the pitch for less than a minute and she so nearly adds a fifth for London City.

    Kadidiatou Diani clipped a cross to the back post and Anyomi went for the spectacular with an overhead kick but puts it just wide.

    Could she have tried a simpler header?

  12. Aston Villa 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Abbie Larkin has come alive since that goal. Villa just can't handle her at the moment.

  13. CLOSE!

    Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses

    London City try a clever on off the training ground. It doesn't really work and there's a bit of a scrap on the edge of the box before the visitors work the ball right, a cross is dinked in and Grace Geyoro, under pressure, volleys over from six yards out.

  14. SUBSTITUTION

    Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses

    Tottenham have sent Shekiera Martinez on for goalscorer Victoria Pelova but it's London City threatening again.

    They have a free-kick 25 yards out...

  15. goal

    GOAL - Aston Villa 1-1 Crystal Palace

    Abbie Larkin (74 mins)

    There's the equaliser!

    Abbie Larkin has found herself in numerous dangerous positions this afternoon and this time she makes it count.

    Larkin drives towards goal and decides to hammer towards the bottom corner and Akane Okuma can't get there.

  16. SUBSTITUTION

    Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Another Villa change with Chasity Grant making way for Georgia Mullett.

  17. Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses

    Spurs scored four in the second half of their last WSL games and seven after the break in the game before that.

    That's something for their fans to cling to as they try to fight back in this one. They do have a corner... but it doesn't even make it into the box as it hits the defender stood just 10 yards away.

  18. Brighton 3-1 Charlton

    Olivia GarciaGetty Images

    Olivia Garcia is some player and, just like she did for Brighton's first two goals, she beats a player and reaches the byline, but this time a recovering defender gets back to tackle her before she can put a cross in.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONS

    Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Time for Palace to roll the dice as Shanade Hopcroft, Annabel Blanchard and Teyah Goldie are replaced by Sierra Enge, Shannon O'Brien and Molly-Mae Sharpe.

  20. 'All gone flat for Spurs'

    Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses

    There was a couple of moments after Spurs got the goal where they were really buzzing but it's all gone flat again and London City have regained control of the game.
