Celin Bizet tries to build an attack but is crowded out by two Manchester City defenders.

The visitors will be desperate to get in at the break with a lead.

Gracie Prior goes into the book for delaying play.

Oliva Smith charges forward before slipping in Sophie Haug, who can't do anything with it. She's appealing for a penalty after a slight push, but referee Lisa Benn is having none of it and she blows the whistle for half-time.

To go in at 2-0 down would've been an uphill battle, but now Marc Skinner's got something to talk about.

The ruthlessness is missing at times in this Man Utd team and that's what they need to change if they want to be WSL champions.

But they've got a goal back and it's definitely game on in this Manchester derby.

Manchester City win a free-kick after Gabby George brings down Jess Park and there's a word in the ear of the Manchester United defender from the referee.

Lauren Hemp lofts it in and it drops for Laia Aleixandri on the edge of the area. She tries to wrap her foot around it but can't keep the shot down.

There's nine minutes added on which gets a little cheer from the home fans. They hope that goal has given them some momentum. Two thumping headers in a matter of minutes at either end!

NINE minutes of time added on at the end of the first half.

Grace Clinton just ghosts in and, like Rebecca Knaak, she just wants it more.

Fantastic header, she meets it well and pulls one back for Man Utd.

Olivia Smith won't want to watch that one back. She takes her eyes off the ball and completely scuffs the strike.

That was a big chance. You feel like Fuka Nagano might have been better to play in Ceri Holland on the left.

What a header from Rebecca Knaak.

Really good delivery from Yui Hasegawa, nobody's with Knaak.

All she has to do is get her head on the ball and it's in the back of the net.

What a few minutes for Man City.

Manchester City needed a big performance today and so far they have delivered.

That is their 11th goal of the season from a header.

Oooh. Taylor Hinds has a pop from 20 yards out and she hits it sweetly, but it doesn't have enough dip and it bounces before off the woodwork before Courtney Brosnan palms it for a corner.

Manchester City have been the better team and Kerolin has caused United problems all half.

Lauren Hemp's return has given that frontline a real boost and Jayde Riviere's injury has just compounded the effect City's left-sided attack is having.

Millie Turner looked particularly disappointed as it was her that Kerolin beat.

Yui Hasegawa holds up the ball well and lays it off for Lauren Hemp who gets a shot away but it's tipped over the bar by Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

There it is. Sara Holmgaard was on her last warning and she's finally got a yellow card for another late challenge on Olivia Smith.

You'd expect Smith to really go for it now down that right wing.

Manchester United try to respond straight away but Ella Toone's shot is blocked.

As things stand Manchester City will go within one point of United in the table and it will go down to the final day of the season.

What a goal from Laia Aleixandri.

Probably non-existent in the game so far, playing out of position, but she's such a technical player.

What a goal for her, to be able to curl it with such precision, Phallon Tullis-Joyce didn't have a chance with that shot.

Play is back under way at Anfield. Courtney Brosnan seems to be just fine.

Referee Lisa Benn has had to give Sara Holmgaard a couple of times already, but I reckon that is her last warning before the cards start coming out.
