  1. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 84 mins

    Chelsea 2-0 Manchester City

    City make those changes, Julie Blakstad replaing Shaw and María Losada coming on for Aleixandri, a player she influenced to join the club.

    Can their side mount a memorable comeback? They have little more than five minutes in which to score at least twice.

    I just feel that there needs to be a change in Man City's midfield. They seem a little bit slower to react and aren't really getting on the ball.

    The players aren't not going through the midfield three as much as they were.

  4. 'Roebuck was never going to get there'published at 17:43 British Summer Time 25 September 2022

    A really good penalty. She hit it with a lot of pace. Ellie Roebuck went the right way but she was never going to get there.

    Mjelde is so experienced and takes spot kicks for her national team. She dispatched it really well.

    GOAL - Chelsea 2-0 Manchester Citypublished at 78 mins

    Maren Mjelde

    Mjelde thumps the penalty to Roebuck's right, giving the diving goalkeeper almost no chance to put Chelsea 2-0 ahead!

    The decision was made because of a City handball in the box. Ingle had tried her luck with a shot that took a deflection and looped up, forcing Roebuck to tip the ball over the crossbar.

    City thought that had been the end of that but Ingle appealed while pointing to her arm, clearly feeling there had been an infringement. The officials agreed with her version of events.

  6. PENALTYpublished at 77 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    This could be the goal that seals this contest. Mjelde places the ball on the spot after Chelsea are awarded a penalty, the cause of which is not entirely clear on first glance.

  7. Postpublished at 76 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    Chelsea are passing the ball around at the back and sizing up their options with an enhanced degree of ease.

    Are City tiring? It's certainly been an energetic showing from Taylor's side but they keep giving the ball away in dangerous areas.

    You just don't know what foot Lauren James is going to use as a defender.

    She performed a little stepover on her right, then tried to curl it to the back post on her left foot.

    She actually scored one in pre-season out in America. That's what she is capable of doing and that's why she is in the team.

  9. CLOSE!published at 72 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    Gifting Chelsea possession inside your own half is never a judicious move.

    Kirby collects the ball beyond the halfway line and motors towards the penalty area, needing no further invitation to take aim with a strike that arcs narrowly over the crossbar.

    The crowd audibly enjoyed that one.

  10. CLOSE!published at 70 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    James almost has a goal to reward her electric performance!

    Reiten swings in a cross from deep on the left. Ouahabi nods it away unconvincingly, finding James outside the penalty area on the opposite side, whose shot curls narrowly wide of the far post!

    Fleming is replaced by Sophie Ingle. The first sequence of play following her introduction sees Roebuck claim a left-wing cross in her goalmouth.

    Former Scotland winger on BBC Radio 5 Live

    You watch Scotland and see Erin Cuthbert, you want her to play in five different positions.

    She can play as a number ten, anywhere in midfield and even out wide.

    She is now playing the Jorginho role. She's really deep in midfield, linking up the play, doing a few tackles and is an incredibly important player for this Chelsea team.

  15. CLOSE!published at 58 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    Roebuck has to rescue City, clawing the danger away at her left-hand post after her side find themselves in a mess as a ball bounces up inside the penalty area.

    Kirby whips in a free-kick from the right as Chelsea produce more pressure, then City break and Cuthbert fouls the ever-dangerous Shaw near the halfway line.

    It's amazing to see Lauren James get that ball in the ring-wing back area.

    You just think, 'that's how your brother does', zipping past defenders and goalkeepers.

    Reece James is amazing at that. She maybe has to try that a couple of times.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 53 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    Coombs canters clear inside the penalty area on the right, scything in a low shot from a tight angle that Berger is equal to with something to spare.

    Ouahabi then chases James a little too enthusiastically, earning a booking after hanging on to her target, who takes to the turf.

  18. Postpublished at 50 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    City are pressing and creating danger again.

    Shaw is thwarted by Bright inside the penalty area, then Aleixandri is unfortunate not to score with a flick at the near post from an inswinging Kelly corner.

    It's a horrible back pass, if it was meant to be a back pass. I don't think it was - I think it was meant to be a cross-field ball, but Berger took it calmly. She has that calm look all the time.

  20. SHOWBOATpublished at 46 mins

    Chelsea 1-0 Manchester City

    Chelsea engage in some tightrope-walking at the back, drawing gasps among the home fans!

    Eriksson takes possesion level with her own penalty area on the left flank and opts to chip a ball back towards her goalkeeper.

    Hemp is lurking, ready to pounce if Berger does anything other than control the tricky-looking pass with precision.

    She does so, coolly clearing. Never in doubt.
