    Bristol City captain Frankie Brown said:

    "I'm really proud of the way we performed as a team.

    "We rose to the challenge collectively and ended up playing some really good football.

    "It is disappointing that we didn't manage to nick something at the end of the game."

    Manchester City match-winner Gemma Bonner said:

    "The result was the most important thing for us going into the game.

    "Yes, there are things we need to improve on, but we got the three points in the end.

    "We've been working hard on set-pieces like the one I scored from, and to be honest, if you ask Caroline (Weir) to put a ball in where you want it, she will do more often than not.

    "We are a bit disappointed that we're not scoring more goals from set-pieces, but it is up to us to go in and attack them when balls come into the box like that.

    "It was important we kept focused while it remained 1-0."

    Emma Mitchell's free-kick that pulled 10-player Spurs level is a thing of beauty. She's so far out she's almost in the English channel.

    Chelsea still have Manchester City to play, which will be a difficult task, but for me Chelsea are looking very promising.

    Even when they are not performing at their best, they still seem to find a way to break teams down to score. And they have goal scorers all around the pitch, goals are coming from everywhere and that is a great thing to have.

    Tottenham 2-2 Everton

    From 2-0 down, Spurs have fought back to level!

    On-loan Arsenal defender Emma Mitchell has done it again for Spurs - who are down to 10 players.

    Moments after Rosella Ayane is sent off for violent conduct, Mitchell finds the top corner with a cracking free-kick.

    Proper drama at the Hive.

    There's the full-time whistle at Kingsmeadow. Chelsea stay a point behind leaders Man City, with a game in hand.

    Birmingham stay one point clear of the relegation zone, also with a game in hand on their rivals Bristol City.

    Beth England's 13th league goal of the season made the hosts' win safe after half-time.

  18. Blues in 'three-way relegation fight'published at 20:57 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2020

    Chelsea 2-0 Birmingham City

    I feel like Birmingham have a really good chance of staying up. I think if they can improve on their finishing in front of goal they have the capability of beating teams. Bristol City are struggling, Liverpool are also there.

    Either one of Bristol City, Liverpool and Birmingham could go down.

    I do think Rachel Furness makes a difference for Liverpool, she has been a really great signing for them. She adds quality going forward and can drop back and play a holding role if needs be. Liverpool have been smart.

    Bristol City have Tanya Oxtoby, who gets the best out of players, but it is not quite working for them at the moment.

    There is no one team that will definitely go down. If I had to pick, I'd say Bristol City simply because of how young they are.

    Job done for Man City. They stay top of the table thanks to Gemma Bonner's second-minute effort.

    Alan Mahon's first game in interim charge ends with three points.

    Bristol City impressed at times but remain rooted to the foot of the WSL.
