Breaking
FT: Birmingham City 2-2 London City Lionesses
London City Lionesses are promoted to the Women's Super League!
It was a nervy finale with the Lionesses almost throwing it away after taking a two-goal lead.
But in the end they become the first independent women's team to reach the top flight.
Elation from the visitors as they celebrate on the pitch. Disappointment for Birmingham City.

West Ham 2-3 Aston Villa
Shekiera Martinez receives the ball on the edge of the box and her first touch is perfect to take her beyond two Villa defenders.
Her cross then was not so perfect.

FT: Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Sonia Bompastor is giving a pretty animated team talk on the pitch.
The Chelsea boss doesn't look too happy. That wasn't the performance of champions, but they got all three points in the end.

FT: Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Two
Chelsea have been superior and shown why they're champions. That record of 1-0 wins has looked different every time they play but they know how to do it.
It's another notch for Chelsea and we'll see if they come out as invincibles at the end of the season.
GOAL - West Ham 2-3 Aston Villapublished at 16:12 British Summer Time
Chasity Grant (54 mins)
Another fine finish!
The ball is played over the top to the right of the box and Chasity Grant hammers it into the far bottom corner.
More questionable goalkeeping from Kinga Szemik but it's a great finish regardless.
FULL-TIMEpublished at 16:12 British Summer Time
Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Spurs can't make anything of it and that will be that. There's the whistle.
Chelsea's hopes of an invincible season in the WSL goes on.

'Spurs build-up well but wayward in final third'published at 16:11 British Summer Time
Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Two
Tottenham have created openings and been in the right positions. Some of their build-up play has been really good but in the final third they can have wayward touches.

Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Spurs have a set piece. Lize Kop is sprinting up the pitch.

West Ham 2-2 Aston Villa
Rachel Daly feeds in Katie Robinson on the right wing and she puts in a dangerous ball but it just about misses her team-mates.
Villa are looking dangerous here.

Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Clare Hunt is probably lucky not to get a second yellow there as she drags down Lola Brown.
Postpublished at 16:10 British Summer Time
West Ham 2-2 Aston Villa
Ebony Salmon is causing all sorts of problems as she looks to add to the one goal she's already netted today.
She unleashes a powerful strike but the angle is against her and it slams into the side netting.
YELLOW CARDpublished at 16:09 British Summer Time
West Ham 2-2 Aston Villa
Maz Pacheco shows greta strength to win the ball back and set Villa on the attack.
Villa then go up the pitch and win a free-kick, resulting in Katrina Gorry being shown a yellow card.
SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 16:08 British Summer Time
Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Another roll of the dice from Robert Vilahamn.
Jess Naz, who has had a decent enough game, is off for Lenna Gunning-Williams.
Postpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time
West Ham 2-2 Aston Villa
Villa look to free Ebony Salmon in behind the West Ham defence but there's too much on the pass.

SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 16:05 British Summer Time
West Ham 2-2 Aston Villa
A half time change for Villa with Jordan Nobbs making way for Katie Robinson.
Miri Taylor has also been replaced for Jill Baijings.
'Kop has made some outstanding saves'published at 16:05 British Summer Time
Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Rachel Brown-Finnis
Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Two
Lize Kop has made some outstanding saves and she gets up so quickly. Sjoeke Nusken surely thought she was sliding that ball home with relative ease.
She leaves such little space. Excellent from Kop.
GREAT SAVE!published at 16:04 British Summer Time
Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea
Lize Kop has had a brilliant game. If it weren't for her, who knows how many Spurs could be down.
A fantastic double save to deny Sjoeke Nusken.
KICK-OFFpublished at 16:04 British Summer Time
West Ham 2-2 Aston Villa
Away we go for the second half.
GOAL - Birmingham City 2-2 London City Lionessespublished at 16:02 British Summer Time
Cho So-hyun (86 mins)
Grandstand finish!
It's another brilliant goal, as Cho So-hyun guides a right footed volley home first time from 15 yards.
Birmingham have pulled level from 2-0 down, but as we stand Lionesses are still going up as champions.
Hold onto your hats...
