    Man City 1-0 Leicester

    Hang on... Manchester City aren't having it all their own way.

    Leicester break down the left through CJ Bott, whose cross is headed out by the home defence as far as Aileen Whelan.

    The Foxes skipper fires the ball goalwards as a troop of light blue shirts throw themselves in the way.

    Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

    Ashleigh Neville loses control at the vital moment and can't get off the shot after Angharad James feeds her with an inch-perfect ball.

    On the second attempt she does unleash an effort but it strikes the crossbar.

    It's quietened down a little at Brisbane Road with Spurs easing off the gas a little. They're still keeping Liverpool completely shut out of this.

    "Ohhh Beth-a-ny Eng-laaaaand!" chant the Chelsea fans.

    That's because the England forward is coming on as a substitute, replacing Sam Kerr as Chelsea look to put this game to bed.

    Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

    Liverpool have very much been second-class citizens in this match, but it's worth noting there's still only a goal in it.

    Spurs need to extend to do more to take advantage of their chances.

    Everton 1-2 Chelsea

    Similar pattern of play in Liverpool. Chelsea are dominating Everton as they look to open up a more comfortable lead.

    Ooof! They couldn't get much closer as substitute Johanna Rytting Kaneryd rattles the bar from the edge of the box.

    Everton keeper Courtney Brosnan was beaten.

    Man City 1-0 Leicester

    Not sure Leicester have been in the Manchester City half since the opening goal.

    The home side are a tent and gas stove away from setting up camp.

    Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

    Past the half-hour mark here and the home side have been utterly dominant. Liverpool haven't even managed a single shot.

    Spurs haven't let up in their relentless pressure and are pushing to extend their lead.

    Liverpool keeper Rachel Laws is receiving treatment - it look like it's just cramp.

    Another great chance!

    Nikola Karczewska's late run isn't tracked and it's so, so close to doubling the advantage but she just drags the ball wide of the goal.

    Khadija Shaw (23 mins)

    What did we tell you?!

    Bunny hops highest in the Leicester box and heads the home side ahead.

    The Jamaican international does well to find space, which invites Lauren Hemp to pick her out. She doesn't need asking twice.

    A perfect cross from the left is met by Shaw who leaves Leicester keeper Kirstie Levell clasping clean Manchester air.

    Tottenham are knocking the ball around well but it's calmed down a little from the madness of the opening few minutes. Liverpool are struggling to have any impression on the game.

    Man City 0-0 Leicester

    in the midst of all that madness at Walton Hall Park, City hit the bar through Chloe Kelly. Think it's still shaking.

    Feels a matter of when, not if, City score.

    Tottenham 1-0 Liverpool

    What a goal that would have been! Drew Spence picks up a loose ball and doesn't muck around, smashing it from distance, but it hits the post.

    She would've given herself something to compete with for goal of the season.

    Pernille Harder (58 mins)

    Never in doubt.

    Harder composes herself and casually sends Brosnan the wrong way.

    The Dive Is Not Enough for Brosnan.

    Everton 1-1 Chelsea

    Almost straight away Chelsea have the chance to re-take the lead...

    Everton keeper Courtney Brosnan races out to try to stop Chelsea's Guro Reiten as she bears down on goal, but is lured into the foul as the Norwegian slaloms around her like an Olympic skiing post.

    Penalty. Brosnan pleads her innocence but the ref is having none of it.

    Liverpool are quick to claim that a Taylor Hinds flick has been handled by a Spurs defender but referee Abigail Byrne swiftly waves away any claims.

    Taylor Hinds is having a torrid spell trying to deal with Celine Bizet at the moment. The Norwegian has been fantastic on the right-hand side for Spurs.

    Kadeisha Buchanan OG (53 mins)

    All square!

    Everton have been pressing for an equaliser and get their reward.

    The manner in which they get it is rather fortunate, it must be said.

    Chelsea keeper Ann-Katrin Berger makes a great save from close range when an Everton free-kick pings around and is prodded goalwards by Gabrielle George, but the ball whacks Kadeisha Buchanan's chest and rolls in.

    Everton don't care!
