Manchester City

More from Nick Cushing to BBC One, on goalkeeper Khiara Keating's display: "We changed the goalkeeper today because of an injury to Yama and Khiara showed that she has got more than enough to be the number one in this team."

On Champions League on Thursday: "There will be large parts of the game at Stamford Bridge that will look like the second half today. We will be under pressure, they will have the crowd behind them and they will be direct. We'll take confidence from knowing that in all three previous games we have shown a threat and that we can score. If we score a goal it changes the dynamic of the tie."

Manchester City

Man City interim boss Nick Cushing, speaking to BBC One: "There is a bit of frustration throughout the game for me. At half time we should come in at 2-0. Then I think with their first goal there is a tight offside.

"Then you look at the injuries we have and the solutions we have to find, and taking players off. You saw one team that was bringing their key players in and the other that was bringing them off. That is an issue we will have to find solutions for."

On the disallowed goal: "There was a foul on Laura Coombs a few minutes before that and we had a counter attacking moment - our threat was coming from Kerolin and Jess Park attacking quickly in those moments and I asked for the advantage to be played.

"The fourth official said she would communicate it to the referee. Two minutes later we score a goal straight after a foul and we didn't get the advantage.

"I'm sure they will recognise that as a moment they should have let play [out] and ultimately it is a moment in the game that has proven key for us."

On the table: "There is still football to be played and there are games going on now that will impact the gap we have. But we believe we can win football games and that we can put points on the board.

"I am really proud of our performance today. You can see we didn't play our fluid football in the second half but we defended resolutely and Khiara [Keating] was excellent. For me that shows me that we have the spirit to go on."

Erin Cuthbert made the difference as Chelsea came from behind to beat Manchester City.

Hear what she had to say here:

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor, speaking to BBC One: "It was a tough game for us. We were expecting that because we know how good City are and they showed it again tonight with a great performance.

"We did better in the second half but we knew if we wanted to win today we would have to put our all into it. A really important three points."

On her half time team talk: "I was a bit frustrated. We had the game plan today and sometimes I don't think we executed it right. It happens sometimes. At half time it is my job to make sure the players understand my expectations and what they need to do on the pitch for the second half.

"We did much better, had 24 shots on goal in the second half, so I just need my players to realise that they need to start like this from the beginning.

"Sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition. As you can see from the last games they have a lot of talent in the squad and at times made things harder for us."

On Champions League on Thursday: "It will be a big mountain [to climb] but as I said nothing is impossible. We have a real belief, we are playing at home with our fans and We'll fight until the end.

"I know we are two goals down but we need to believe that it's possible. I know we have the quality to reverse the situation but we will need to be at our best."

It's half-time at Villa Park, so let's get some more reaction to Chelsea's win against Manchester City, shall we?

Talk about putting the game to bed.

A moment of magic, a moment of quality and that is simply sensational from Grace Clinton.

This is pure class with the goalkeeper off her line. It sneaks under the bar.

What a finish.

You just knew Grace Clinton was shooting. As soon as she won the ball, she looked up, saw goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo off her line and went for it. The whole team came over to celebrate.

It's the United fans who are chanting their team's name at the half-time whistle. United are in complete and utter control.

Manchester United don't properly clear a Villa set piece and the hosts hit the bar! It's Gabi Nunes who nods a Lucy Parker header towards goal.

From a Man United perspective, they can really turn the dial in this game and put Aston Villa to bed if they want to.

Jayde Riviere opts for a strike from distance, but it's a comfortable save for Villa goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo.

It's far too easy for Jayde Riviere to drift inside.

Missy Bo Kearns is one relieved player to see that go out for a corner.

Nearly an own goal! Missy Bo Kearns clips a Jayde Riviere cross with her knee and it thankfully goes wide of the post.

There's a foul as United take the corner so nothing comes of it.

Maya Le Tissier finds Leah Galton inside the Villa box, but she slightly miscues her shot and sends it over the bar.

Phallon Tullis-Joyce receives a pass back from Maya Le Tissier and does well to boot it away before Maya Le Tissier can get to it.

The hosts are starting to be a bit more positive, but they've got a lot of work to do if they're to find a way back.

Anna Patten looks to overturn possession but knocks it out for a goal kick.

I think Natalia Arroyo has just shouted at her team to get back into a back five. Chasity Grant and Paula Tomas have instantly dropped deeper.

Gabby George gets the first booking of the game after tripping Chasity Grant. That means she'll miss United's next game, against Everton.

Celin Bizet has the ball at the edge of the Manchester United box and opts to shoot instead of running closer to Sabrina D'Angelo. She fires wide.
