Cracking half. Liverpool lucky to be level.

Ohhh, got to score! Palace should be back ahead as Mille Gejl hooks a clever pass forwards on the bounce, Katie Stengel is in on goal but off balance and can only end up slicing a shot well over the bar.

Palace win a corner - their seventh of the half - but it's well cleared again. They have not made the most of those chances today.

Player of the match Lauren Hemp on BBC Two: "It feels great, obviously the aim was to win. We managed to do it. We seem to keep doing it the hard way but we got three points in the end.

"Going into the international [break] unbeaten is the aim and games like that last season we would have probably conceded and gone on to draw so it’s important we learned from that and this season put things right and beat them. It was a tough game and credit to them."

On her goal and assist: “The goal, it was a good cross, she managed to get her hand to it, so I just tried to get anything on it, and it happened to come off my head. I knew the goalkeeper was off her line so I just tried to kick it over her and it managed to do the trick.

“I think it was important to get an early goal in that second half, it gave us a lot of time to get a second and obviously I knew where Jill [Roord] was gonna be. We’ve got a good connection, we’ve trained hard to work on that. It was a great finish by her."

On how important their good start to the season has been: “So important, this team is here to win, we wanna win trophies, our aim is to do that this season.

“It was heartbreak for us last season when we didn't manage to win the title, that’s one of our aims this season. Hopefully if we keep putting in performances like that who knows where we could go.”

Another good chance for the visitors! Annabel Blanchard is played in on goal by a lovely pass from deep, Rachael Laws has to be off her line quickly and make a smothering save.

More like it! Liverpool attack at pace, the ball is pinged across goal from the right and Cornelia Kapocs is close to stabbing it in. She's also taken out as the ball flies across and wants a penalty but referee Amy Fearn isn't interested.

A wicked corner is whipped in from the right, bending in the stiff wind and causing Rachael Laws issues. Palace goalscorer Katie Stengel is arriving on it but she's beaten by the ball going out of play before she can hook it goalward.

Leicester City boss Amandine Miquel has urged the club's fans not to "give up" after the side's tough start to the season.

The Foxes remain winless after four games, picking up just two points and scoring just one goal. However Miquel believes that her side just need to build confidence to turn things around.

"It's about getting confidence going in the squad as I know we have the qualities in forward areas, and once we get that second goal (of the season), it opens up a bit and people will relax," she said.

Miquel added, "The fans have been excellent and they need to stay patient. It will come and at some point, you will be rewarded."

Right Liverpool, what have you got in the tank?

'Let's go!' shouts a child in the crowd and I concur. They have looked really short of ideas.

It's all gone very quiet in St Helens as Palace continue to sparkle. Indiah-Paige Riley leaves Gemma Evans in a heap with a crunching but fair challenge and wins another corner. Liverpool are yet to respond at all to the goal.

She's always a threat in the box, Lauren Hemp.

Right when City were really pressurising Villa, I think they made the corners count.

Hemp at the minute, everything she's touching is turning to fire. I'm really made up for her.

Palace are growing in confidence now. Impressive stuff from the visitors as My Cato wins a corner on the right.

That was a very good performance, it wasn't City's best. They weren't as exciting to watch as I've seen them before this season but if you want to be title contenders, you've got to be able to come back from a goal down, you've got to be able to win matches when you're not at your best.

Liverpool are really dominating the play now. Taylor Hinds and Cornelia Kapocs link up well on the left flank but the cross comes to nothing.

Manchester City have won a seventh match in a row in all competitions.

They had to come from behind for a second time in four days after Gabi Nunes' first half finish, but with Lauren Hemp playing superbly, they had little to worry about.

She first levelled with a clever volley in the second half before eight minutes later, danced through Villa's defence to tee up Jill Roord, who clinched victory with 20 minutes to go.

City move clear at the top of the WSL standings. Meanwhile, Villa are still yet to win, five games into their WSL campaign.
