  1. Aston Villa 0-0 Man City

    That goal at Meadow Park means the only goalless game now is Aston Villa v Manchester City. And it's the only game where they really matter.

  2. Aston Villa 0-0 Man City

    It's all about the goals for Gareth Taylor and with every minute that goes by you can imagine the tension is rising. Manchester City could really do to score soon and get themselves off the mark if they're to have any hope of staying in this title race.

  3. goal

    GOAL - Arsenal 1-0 Brighton

    Alessia Russo (17 mins)

    What a strike!

    Beth Mead and Emily Fox link up with a lovely passing move but it needed the final produce to finish off the chance.

    Luckily, Alessia Russo was there to provide the finishing touch. The ball is pulled back to her and she sends a powerful effort into the top corner.

  4. 'City have to put away every chance now'

    Aston Villa 0-0 Manchester City

    Rachel Brown-Finnis
    Ex-England goalkeeper on BBC Two

    If Manchester City are to get any sort of foothold to put themselves back in title contention they have to put away every chance that comes their way now.

  5. goal

    GOAL - Bristol City 0-1 Everton

    Katja Snoeijs (16 mins)

    Superb turn and finish from Katja Snoeijs.

    Everton looked the more likely early on and now they lead.

    A long ball is played into the edge of the box, Sara Holmgaard plays it into Snoejis and the Dutch forward spins and hits the ball low past Fran Bentley.

  6. Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    Emma Sanders
    BBC Sport at Old Trafford

    This is going perfectly for Chelsea. Sam Kerr was on her feet in the stands celebrating that finish from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd. Emma Hayes even did a little dance and a fist bump. She knows this is massive!

  7. Tottenham 1-0 West Ham

    West Ham are improving.

    Riko Ueki is waiting in a great position in the middle as Kirsty Smith races down the wing, but Ashleigh Neville sprints back to make a crucial interception.

  8. Aston Villa 0-0 Manchester City

    Emma Smith
    BBC Sport at Villa Park

    The Manchester City fans are crowded in one corner of Villa Park, although unusually for a present day WSL match there is no segregated away end.

    At kick-off, every fan was waving a sky blue City-branded flag provided by the club. Now, the mood is rather more sombre as news of the early Chelsea goals filter through.

  9. SUBSTITUTION

    Aston Villa 0-0 Man City

    Laura Coombs is down and in need of a bit of treatment.

    It looks like former Aston Villa player Laura Blindkilde Brown is going to replace her. An early change for Gareth Taylor.

  10. Arsenal 0-0 Brighton

    Arsenal are on the prowl but they've mostly been held back so far.

    They're finding it difficult to get past Brighton's low block and haven't had many chances inside the box.

  11. Aston Villa 0-0 Manchester City

    Emma Smith
    BBC Sport at Villa Park

    As it stands, City would need to win 5-0.

    The way it's going, they might have to score 10.

  12. Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    Chelsea are almost in again!

    Jayde Riviere makes a brilliant challenge to prevent Guro Reiten making it three.

    Emma Hayes' side are absolutely rampant.

  13. Aston Villa 0-0 Man City

    You have to think that news of goals in Manchester will have reached the City staff and players by now.

    They've got an uphill task already.

  14. Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    Natasha Dowie
    Reading and England striker on the BBC Radio 5 Live

    Chelsea look like a team possessed. They want to win this game and win this title.

  15. Tottenham 1-0 West Ham

    West Ham are trailing but they're pushing for a way back.

    Risa Shimizu has a chance as Eveliina Summanen mistimes a clearance but her low drive from distance is met by Rebecca Spencer.

  16. goal

    GOAL - Man Utd 0-2 Chelsea

    Johanna Rytting Kaneryd (8 mins)

    What a start! That could well be that!

    Chelsea have looked so up for this from the off and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd picks up the ball in a dangerous area, she drives forward and Mary Earps comes right out of her goal to meet her.

    But the Sweden forward just picks her spot and slots into the far corner past England's number one.

  17. Arsenal 0-0 Brighton

    Argh. The ball falls nicely to Alessia Russo in the Brighton box, but she's denied by a good bit of last-ditch defending as a visitors defender sticks out their leg to block her effort.

  18. goal

    GOAL - Leicester 0-1 Liverpool

    Sophie Haug (7 mins)

    It's early in the game but this goal had been coming.

    Liverpool work it nicely down the left and Taylor Hinds has all the time in the world to look up and put in a cross.

    She picks out Sophie Haug and striker is completely unmarked as a precise header finds the bottom corner.

    Matt Beard's side are well on course for a top-four finish now.

  19. 'City's front three a scary prospect'

    Aston Villa 0-0 Man City

    Ellen White
    Former England striker on BBC Two

    I really like the front three - the dynamics, the relationship, the connection.

    I feel like each of the three have something special. I really like they way they move, they can each play the number seven, the nine and the eleven.

    Against Arsenal, I liked the way they worked together. They've all got goals in them so that will be a scary prospect for Aston Villa today.

  20. Arsenal 0-0 Brighton

    Oooh.

    This has been a bright start from Brighton. Elisabeth Terland has a header cleared and Jorelyn Carabali fires narrowly wide after the rebound drops to her feet.
