    Aston Villa 3-3 Man City

    Villa turn the ball over again and work it well to Kenza Dali, who fancies another, but this time her shot is blocked.

    The hosts look so dangerous every time they come forward in numbers. It's been a great game to watch.

    Aston Villa 3-3 Man City

    Lauren Hemp drives into the Villa box and wins a corner.

    Khadija Shaw is in there again but this time she heads over the bar. With the way this game has gone, I expected that one to find the back of the net too.

    The goals are well and truly flowing at Villa Park!

    City are the architects of their own downfall as Steph Houghton's sloppy pass out of defence is pounced on by Kenza Dali, who finds the top corner via a deflection off Alex Greenwood.

    Villa are level - what a game this is turning out to be!

    Just 88 seconds between City's second and third goals.

    No wonder Gareth Taylor is smiling on the touchline.

    Laura Coombs

    Wow!

    A quickfire double and suddenly City are ahead. A brilliant Chloe Kelly cross from the right finds Laura Coombs, who cushions the ball before firing an unstoppable shot high into Hannah Hampton's net.

    What a turnaround.

    Steph Houghton heads the corner back across goal and Khadija Shaw makes no mistake this time, looping her effort over Hannah Hampton.

    City are level - game on!

    Alex Greenwood intercepts and starts a City attack, but Danielle Turner again does well to block Esme Morgan's shot.

    Danielle Turner does well to get in front of Khadija Shaw and head away a Chloe Kelly cross but she stays down and will require some treatment.

    I think things can only get better for Manchester City with the quality they have within their team. The demands and standards they have should be better.

    They'll be saying 'girls, we need to be better.' They certainly have the quality within the team to get back into the game.

    Alex Greenwood whips a free-kick in and Rachel Daly shows her defensive ability, making a crucial header to knock the ball behind for a corner.

    The corner falls to Khadija Shaw, but she can't keep her header down and it goes out for a goal-kick. Good chance that.

    Peter H Todd: Great WSL game between Aston Villa and Manchester City. Three great goals in the first half.

    Jenni Johnson: Most successful number 8 for Villa for a while.

    It's been certainly out of the back play from Ellie Roebuck across the backline right to the midfield. It was walking pace at times, getting hold off the ball and looking up and thinking 'not sure where to go from here.'

    Aston Villa have got off to a really bright start and really controlled the game. The manner they approached it in both in and out of possession made it difficult for Manchester City to build up.

    Hannah Hampton has gifted Manchester City a goal here. A good pass and Shaw does really well just to hold up the defender and spins her. Coombs joins up and takes a shot at the edge of the box. This should be a comfortable save.
