"The results are going more or less as I expected. You'd expect Birmingham and Liverpool to put up good fights but Chelsea are tough to play against.

"It sets it up nicely for winter. It's been a fantastic Spring Series."

Liverpool should pull one back, but Jess Clarke heads agonisingly wide from a left-wing free-kick.

City keeper Marie Hourihan was beaten. But it's not to be for Liverpool.

After a flowing Chelsea move, the ball is rolled back to Maren Mjelde on the edge of the area, but she fires over the bar.

"Megan Campbell's reaction tells me she is not used to scoring goals. Never admit you didn't mean a goal!

"That's another goalkeeping error I'm afraid - you shoudn't be beaten from there.

"I think the scoreline slightly flatters City. We haven't seen anything from them this half and Liverpool can count themselves unfortunate."

With around 25 minutes to play, Chelsea are on course to win the Spring Series.

They'd have to concede two goals to blow it from here.

"A Liverpool goal might make Manchester City a little nervous. In terms of possession they have started the second half much brighter and this is much better from them."

Meanwhile, mid-table Sunderland have equalised against Reading, through substitute Beverly Leon, who finds the bottom corner.

Liverpool 0-2 Manchester City

Liverpool's Shanice van de Sanden clashes heads unfortunately with England skipper Steph Houghton, as they both challenge for a header.

That looks painful. Both players receive treatment.

In case you missed it earlier, watch Mel Lawley's 'beautiful goal' which doubled Manchester City's lead just before half-time at Liverpool.

Remember, the whole game is live on the BBC Red Button and at the top of this page.

Arsenal almost have a second but Heather O'Reilly's bouncing effort is really well saved by Bristol City's Caitlin Leach.

Leaders Chelsea - who are 45 minutes away from winning the Spring Series - get their game back under way.

"It's a great strike that came out of nowhere. It's a nice turn and Mel Lawley has sent it into the top corner.

"I don't know if I'm being a bit harsh but maybe if Siobhan Chamberlain had moved a bit quicker... She will have certainly expected her defence to deal with it."

Here's how the top of the table looks at half-time, with the top three all winning.

Elsewhere, Reading's first-half goal at Sunderland has seen them leapfrog the Lady Black cats and move up to fifth for now.

Relive the moment Manchester City's Jill Scott headed home from close range to give her side the lead against Liverpool.

After Jill Scott's header and Mel Lawley's long-range effort, Manchester City are in control.

But they need Chelsea to concede to have any hope of winning the league.

Leaders Chelsea are ahead at the break thanks to Karen Carney's penalty.

They'll be champions if they keep hold of their lead in the second half.
