    Tottenham's summer recruitment drive includes the arrival of striker Chioma Ubogagu following her departure from Real Madrid.

    The 28-year-old spent two years with the Spanish side, and helped them qualify for the Women's Champions League last season.

    Ubogagu, who has won three caps for England, has agreed a two-year contract.

    Spurs, who managed just 18 goals in 22 matches, are looking to improve on last season's eight-placed finish.

    Everton need to do something different. They send on Claire Emslie and Hanna Bennison. Big things are expected from the latter.

    Megan Finnigan and Kenza Dalli depart. Could mean a switch to a back four.

    The atmosphere went down pretty rapidly in the first half after those two quick goals from Man City in two minutes.

    Everton need to give the home fans something to cheer about. At the moment it's the drum of the visitors who are making all the noise over in the far corner.

    Great match and a great second half performance by Villa. Leicester will learn from this. They have a lot to offer the WSL.

    Corner to Leicester which comes to nothing. We're into the 97th minute!

    It is going to be tough to come back from this. The formation hasn't helped, they have been exploited from the wide areas.

    Man City have capitalised on a lack-lustre performance from Everton.

    Here is the goal that got the ball rolling for Man City at Goodison. Just a sign of things to come...

    How did that stay out?

    Substitute Lachante Paul looks set to equalise from close range but the ball somehow stays out with Hannah Hampton again in the wars.

    Leicester's players cannot believe it. Hampton is receiving more treatment.

    Five additional minutes. Villa are within touching distance of an opening weekend win.

    Not for the first time in this game Hannah Hampton is down receiving treatment. The Villa keeper was brave to go in where it hurts to try and clear a Leicester free-kick.

    There's going to be several minutes stoppage time. Hampton receives a warm round of applause when she eventually climbs to her feet.

  17. HALF-TIMEpublished at 14:19 British Summer Time 4 September 2021

    Everton 0-3 Man City

    The Everton players look shellshocked. They've been blown out of the water by City in that half.

    With two summer signings on the scoresheet, things could not have gone much better for the visitors.

    Everton will know they have not laid a glove on Man City. Individually these players are good players for Everton. Implementing the back three against Man City is a bit different and it has been laid bare in a game like this. This is where you see the leaders step up.

    The back three for Everton isn't working and they were complaining with each other after the second goal. City have got far too much room.

    Nathalie Bjorn was beaten easily for that second goal and Janine Beckie had an age to put the ball in the net.

    Khadija Shaw's goal was even easier. She was completely unmarked a few yards out. City would have taken a 3-0 lead at this stage all day of the week.
