    Leicester have doubled their lead against London City Lionesses in the Championship, by the way.

    Natasha Flint's goal has put the Foxes on the verge of sealing promotion to the WSL.

  2. CLOSE!published at 82 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Again United go close as Lucy Staniforth's cross is only just headed behind by Beth Roe with plenty of red shirts lurking behind her.

    Nothing comes of the corner.

    Tottenham 0-3 Man City

    Man City really do look like a side intent on adding to their goal tally.

    Sub Lauren Hemp shoots wide of the right-hand post from the left after being played in. It was so, so close.

    They've flown off.

    Well that was weird.

    Play restarts.

    Tottenham 0-3 Man City

    There's less than 10 minutes of the game, plus injury time to play now.

    City are in control and almost had a fourth fourth goal a short while ago, but keeper Becky Spencer makes a fabulous stop to prevent Rose Lavelle getting on the scoresheet.

    Goal difference could well be a factor in the title race.

    And, don't forget, Chelsea won 6-0 earlier in the day.

    Quack.

    At least I think they're ducks, could be small geese?

    There's two of them by the way. Any bird watchers, hit me up on #bbcfootball

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Huh?!

    There are ducks on the pitch!

    Man Utd keeper Mary Earps is trying to scare them away, but they ain't moving.

    Needless to say, play has been stopped.

    Bristol City 0-4 Arsenal

    It's nearly five for the Gunners.

    Kim Little and Jordan Nobbs combine in the latest classy bit of build-up play by Arsenal, but Little's near-post strike is kept out by the over-worked City keeper Sophie Baggaley.

  9. Foxes on the way to promotion?published at 15:33 British Summer Time 4 April 2021

    A big goal to update you on from the Women's Championship.

    Sam Tierney has struck from close range to break the deadlock for leaders Leicester City against London City Lionesses.

    Victory today will clinch the title - and promotion to the WSL for the first time in their history - for the Foxes.

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    There's a pattern emerging at The People's Pension Stadium.

    Manchester United win the ball and push forward only for the final pass to be too heavy as the ball runs behind for a goal kick.

    Rinse and repeat.

    GOAL: Bristol City 0-4 Arsenalpublished at 65 mins

    Vivanne Miedema

    Two in three minutes for Arsenal as Vivianne Miedema taps home her second goal of the day.

    It was more stylish approach play from Arsenal ending with the Dutch striker's simple finish after keeper Sophie Baggaley had saved from Jordan Nobbs.

    It had been coming. Sub Beth Mead powerfully strikes home the away side's third goal of the day and the game is as good as done and dusted.

    So of course, City make it 3-0 through Caroline Weir.

    The Scotland star makes her way into the centre of the box and casually controls the ball before stroking it into the bottom corner.

    Tottenham 0-2 Man City

    Tottenham were toothless before the break but have been better in the second half.

    They have threatened a couple of times, the latest coming from a free-kick that sails across goal and evades everyone.

    There are some encouraging signs for Spurs though. All of a sudden a City win doesn't look so certain.

  15. PENALTY APPEALpublished at 55 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Kirsty Hanson goes down in the box under pressure from Brighton's Beth Roe.

    Play is waved on but I'm not convinced. I think Hanson was pushed over there.

    A huge appeal from the United bench.

  16. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 54 mins

    Bristol City 0-2 Arsenal

    It looks like a matter of time before Arsenal add to their lead.

    They hit the frame of the goal for the fourth time this afternoon, on this occasion it's sub Beth Mead whose fierce strike cannons back of the post.

  17. GREAT SAVE!published at 50 mins

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    Finally, United do attack and they should be level in this fixture.

    Jessica Sigsworth is clean through but the United number nine is denied by a brilliant diving save by Megan Walsh.

    How did she not score?

  18. CLOSE!published at 50 mins

    Bristol City 0-2 Arsenal

    That's truly glorious from Arsenal striker Vivianne Miedema who produces some mesmeric skill on the left wing and dribbles away from her marker only to be denied a second goal of the day by keeper Sophie Baggaley's fine positioning.

    Brighton 1-0 Man Utd

    A reminder, Brighton lost 5-0 to Everton last time out.

    They've bossed possession against Manchester United since the restart.

    Tottenham 0-2 Man City

    Chloe Kelly is a constant danger to any side and Tottenham have certainly struggled to deal with the Manchester City winger today.

    She scurries away and sends in a lovely cross which is hacked clear just in time.
