    Bethany England gets in on the act and she deserved a goal for the cracking assist she put in for Sam Kerr a few minutes earlier.

    You have to pity poor Robins keeper Sophie Baggaley, mind.

    She makes a superb, and brave, save to stop England sliding in Pernille Harder's inviting far-post cross but the ball ricochets off the Chelsea forward into the net.

    Bristol City 0-4 Chelsea

    Fair play to Bristol City.

    It's absolutely pelting it down in Somerset and they are four down to the leaders - it would be easy to throw in the towel.

    But they are still looking to go forward and Ebony Salmon whips in a cross-shot that Ann Katrin-Berger reacts smartly to at her near-post.

    Sam Kerr (56 mins)

    Anything you can do, Sam Kerr says to Fran Kirby.

    The Chelsea forwards are level on 11 goals each for the season.

    In truth, Bethany England's pinpoint cross made this unmissable for Kerr who nodded home the Blues' fourth from six yards out.

    Bristol City 0-3 Chelsea

    Robins captain Jasmine Matthews has come off, to be replaced by Aimee Palmer.

    It's been a solid start to the second half by City, who have denied Chelsea space in the attacking third for the most part.

    They will be ruing those quickfire two goals at the end of the first half that put this one out of reach.

  5. Kirby eyeing top scorer spot?published at 16:14 Greenwich Mean Time 14 February 2021

    Bristol City 0-3 Chelsea

    Chelsea's superiority this season is reflected in the fact they have three players in the top five of the Women's Super League top scorers' list.

    Fran Kirby's double today has lifted her on to 11, overtaking Sam Kerr (10) into second spot.

    Pernille Harder is joint fifth on seven.

    Arsenal's Vivianne Miedema leads the way on 12 - can Kirby draw level with her today?

    A loose touch from a Bristol City defender presents Chelsea's Aussie striker Sam Kerr with an opening.

    But Jemma Purfield recovers well to block the forward's shot.

    The sides are emerging for the second half at Twerton Park.

    With respect to the hosts, the only question surely remaining is how many league leaders Chelsea are going to win this by.

    It really was an exciting game and that sums up this season.

    We have a title race on our hands, a relegation battle and Reading and Everton are trying to push Arsenal for fourth place.

    You could see how much both teams really went for it and were pushing for that win.

    Reading 1-1 Everton

    Just like the reverse fixture in November, this one ends one apiece.

    No surprise really, given the sides are locked together in fifth and sixth place, on 19 points each now.

    Rachel Rowe rewarded Reading's enterprising first half with the opener but they paid the price for sitting back too much on that lead after the break.

    Nicoline Sorensen's classy header earned Everton a point although Deanna Cooper almost pinched victory for Reading at the death.

    Reading 1-1 Everton

    Deanna Cooper is so close to a winner for Reading!

    The centre-half meets Emma Mitchell's low free-kick well on the half-volley but steers it just wide of the near post.

    So close.

    Hayley Raso fouls Reading forward Lauren Bruton out on the left.

    A chance for the Royals to get the ball in the box...

    Reading 1-1 Everton

    A superb challenge from Jill Scott on the edge of her own area robs Jess Fishlock and turns defence into attack for Everton.

    The Toffees win a free-kick on halfway but the ball forward is poor.

    Three minutes of injury time to go.

    Reading 1-1 Everton

    Everton look the likelier of the two sides to grab a winner and Lucy Graham's hooked effort is deflected wide for a corner.

    Reading deal with the flag-kick adequately as the clock strikes 90.

    Five minutes of added time is shown on the fourth official's board.

    Two minutes plus stoppage time remaining at the Madejski.

    Can either side win it?

    Rachel Rowe just had Reading's best effort of the second half but it was fairly routine for Everton keeper Tinja-Riikka Korpela.

    And there is the whistle.

    No shock for Chelsea this week - they lead comfortably at the WSL's bottom side thanks to a Fran Kirby double and Pernille Harder.

    It could have been more if not for the woodwork and City keeper Sophie Baggaley who has made several fine saves.

    Damage limitation in the second half for the Robins, surely.

    Bristol City 0-3 Chelsea

    Two minutes of first-half stoppage time to play at Twerton Park.

    It's almost 4-0 as Jonna Andersson's cross-shot clips the top of the crossbar.

    Bristol City will just want to hear the whistle here.

    Nicoline Sorensen rose well to get the header off and it landed in the back of the net.

    It was a brilliant header but she was completely unmarked and Reading will be disappointed they didn't pick her up.

    She's made an immediate impact after coming on as a substitute and has got Everton back in the game.

    If it wasn't game over already, it is now.

    Robins keeper Sophie Baggeley reacts superbly to prevent one of her own defenders diverting Beth England's cross into her own net.

    But there's no luck for Baggeley as the ball breaks to Fran Kirby who fires into the roof of the net.

    A glorious header from Everton's Denmark substitute Nicoline Sorensen.

    She's perfectly placed to meet a far-post cross but there was still plenty of work to do.

    Sorensen does it brilliantly, directing a header back where the ball came from into the opposite corner.

    Game on.
