    FT: Man City 3-3 Chelsea

    At the top, it's advantage Chelsea in the race for the title, albeit only a slender one.

    They know that if they win their seven remaining games, including, crucially, the one they hold in hand over Manchester City, then they will be crowned champions for the second time in three seasons.

    The Blues also have a superior goal difference to City, meaning they could theoretically afford to drop a couple of points.

    Arsenal are far from out of it either - they would have been praying for a draw in today's top-two tussle while the Gunners were in FA Cup action. And that's exactly what they got.

    Until then... Cheers.

  2. How they stand at the bottompublished at 16:58 Greenwich Mean Time 23 February 2020

    At the foot of the table, it's been a huge day for Bristol City, who boosted their survival hopes with a vital 1-0 win at relegation rivals Birmingham.

    Former Aston Villa forward Ebony Salmon got the winning goal to add insult to injury for Blues, who slip to 11th.

    They are just one point above Liverpool, who slip to the foot of the table after a 4-2 defeat at West Ham.

    It looks like one from those three to go down, although all of the bottom three have at least two games in hand on Brighton, who were also beaten today.

    West Ham stay eighth in the table but move 10 points clear of Liverpool, who slip to the bottom of the table.

    It's a bad, bad day for the Reds, with Bristol City having won earlier at Birmingham.

    West Ham 4-2 Liverpool

    She's at it again! Rachel Furness guides in her second of the game as she meets a left-wing corner... But it's in the 90th minute of the game and surely it's too late.

    Just how gloomy would Liverpool's survival prospects look without the winter signing of Furness?

    Reaction: Everton 2-3 Man Utd

    After moving fourth with that win at Everton, Manchester United forward Leah Galton said: "We knew we had to win. We have a little rivalry with Everton anyway and have beaten them four times now and that feels great.

    "It was their first game at home at their new place and we wanted to come here and beat them.

    "We just had to make sure we came and dominated. We were told if we won our individual battles, we would win the game and I think we all did that."

    Reaction: Everton 2-3 Man Utd

    After her side's 3-2 loss to Manchester United this lunchtime, Everton's Dan Turner told Sportsbeat: "We threw everything at them in the second half, and it wasn’t quite meant to be. Going 3-0 down gave us a really uphill task but I can’t fault the effort of all the girls.

    “Hopefully we put on a spectacle and we hope we’ve done enough to inspire those fans and make them want to come back to see us at Walton Hall Park."

    West Ham 4-1 Liverpool

    Northern Ireland's Rachel Furness - who has been Liverpool's shining star in recent weeks since her move from Reading - pulls one back for the visitors, slotting in after a set-piece.

    But with just 19 minutes remaining, a full comeback looks very unlikely.

    West Ham's Grace Fisk - who was named in England's SheBelieves Cup on Tuesday - is forced off with an injury.

    The Lionesses and the Hammers will hope it's not too serious, as do we all of course.

    FT: Man City 3-3 Chelsea

    Chelsea boss Emma Hayes tells BT Sport:

    "It was great entertainment for the crowd - you lot had a wonderful time! I have a sore neck from looking left to right.

    "It [says a lot about us] that our team is disappointed with a draw. But I see it as a point gained - 3-3 is probably a fair result.

    "It was just a brilliant spectacle I suspect for those at home.

    "My stomach doesn't feel fantastic about conceding three goals but I will maintain it's a point gained."

    "It was a great game for the spectator. We're a little bit disappointed with some of the defending but we'll take the point.

    Chelsea have taken four points from their two games against Man City this season, as well as six points off defending champions Arsenal.

    They now have seven games remaining and if they win them all they will lift the WSL title and there'll be nothing their rivals can do about it.
