    It was all a bit too twitchy at half-time to make any changes for Man City. The quality of Jess Park and Bunny Shaw has made the major difference.

    Immediately after those changes, it just opens up for Ebony Salmon, who charges throught he middle of the hosts' half.

    She gets to the edge of the box and shoots, but her effort whistles wide.

    Midfielder Kyra Cooney-Cross was one of Arsenal's standout players as they came back from behind to beat West Ham 4-3 in the Women's Super League last week.

    "The role she plays for Arsenal is quite complex. We ask a lot from her. There's high demands on players in that role both in and out of possession," said Arsenal boss Renee Slegers.

    Cooney-Cross has started five of Arsenal's past six league games but made an impact as a substitute against the Hammers.

    "If you look at her details out of possession, it's improved so much. I'm very happy with her patience, grit and hard work. Her chances have come and she's taking them well."

    It will be a very disappointing season for Manchester City if they do not win any silverware. It does look like they will edge through this match.

    Bunny Shaw looks a little bit disappointed to be coming off. She had so much composure for her goal and her quality has been the difference between the two sides.

    Kirsty Hanson has made a good impact so far since coming on, but the concentration from Yamashita has not waivered.

    It's a wonderful block from Paula Tomas, then from Baijings and then it was a wonderful save.

  15. GREAT SAVE!published at 77 mins

    That is excellent from Sabrina D'Angelo.

    Paulo Tomas blocks a Jess Park shot, Khadija Shaw has an effort stopped, then D'Angelo pounces to palm around the corner after Park fires towards goal from close range.

    A little better. Noelle Martiz sends the ball into the middle, but the execution is poor from Rachel Daly as the delivery goes behind her and she can't control it well enough to get a clean shot away.

    It is an important period for Liverpool as they look to bounce back in the Women's Super League and climb up the table under interim manager Amber Whiteley.

    The former assistant boss, who took over from Matt Beard when he was sacked last week, has fresh ideas and is ready to showcase her ability as a coach.

    She has a Women's FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal to navigate on Sunday (14:30 GMT kick-off), before she attempts to lead Liverpool back towards the top in the league.

    Having defied the odds to finish fourth last season, Liverpool have struggled for consistency this year, while clubs around them continue to invest and strengthen.

    The Reds are now playing catch up before what could be a huge summer in the transfer window - so can Whiteley guide Liverpool back to where they want to be?

    Villa's defenders had a lapse of concentration there.

    GOAL - Man City 2-0 Aston Villapublished at 13:59 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March

    Jess Park (71 mins)

    City needed that goal. You can't see the visitors coming back from this.

    It's a really poor throw-in inside the Villa third from the visitors and Miri Taylor gets dispossessed by Vivianne Miedema.

    She slides the ball out to Jess Park, who powers past Sabrina D'Angelo.
