    FT: Aston Villa 1-2 Man City

    Steph Houghton is in absolute pieces as the players and staff gather in a circle on the pitch.

    She is utterly heartbroken having now played her last game of football.

    Not to be for City today but she won't be remembered for this.

    Bravo Emma Hayes. Lost key players to injuries throughout the season while playing in four competitions going far in all of them. If you go to Old Trafford and win 6-0, you deserve to win the title.

    Rachel Brown-Finnis

    One of the reasons Manchester City have not been able to breach the Villa net. A great collective performance from Villa but Anna Leat has been a solid last line of defence. She has been fabulous.
