Millie Bright clears as Hemp plays a searching pass for Shaw.
The more City get down the left through Hemp, the better chance they'll have in this game. It has been much more even in the last 10 minutes.

Chelsea 1-0 Man City
You get the sense City are deliberately looking to play on the counter-attack.
They keep pressing in the attacking third. But they need to get their foot on the ball and slow Chelsea's intensity.

Former Leeds striker on BBC TwoIt's really well worked down the right hand side. Ellie Roebuck didn't know if she was going to come out and claim it because of the wind. Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant header by Guro Reiten.
