    That's it from us today and the WSL this weekend.

    A day filled with disappointment and frustration as the weather takes three games. Chelsea were just minutes into their clash with Liverpool before that was abandoned, while Tottenham v Leicester and Brighton's clash with Arsenal later were called off.

    There were two results to report, though, as you can see here.

    Until next time, take care.

    Brighton P-P Arsenal

    Brighton confirm their game at home to Arsenal tonight, due to kick off at 18:45 GMT, has been called off due to a frozen pitch at Broadfield Stadium.

  8. FA Statementpublished at 16:11 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2023

    The FA have released this statement on the postponement of Chelsea v Liverpool: "We worked hard with the clubs and the match officials to safely play the Barclay’s Women’s Super League fixture between Chelsea and Liverpool as scheduled.

    "Following inspections before the match, the pitch was deemed to be playable by the matchday referee.

    "However, shortly after kick off, the referee made the decision to abandon the match in order to protect the safety of the players, which is paramount. We sincerely apologise to all fans who travelled to the match. The fixture will be rescheduled in due course."

  9. 'We demand more'published at 16:10 Greenwich Mean Time 22 January 2023

    Millie Bright has reacted as robustly as she defends to that abandonment at Chelsea earlier today.

    Having a pitch frozen over on a day like today and not being able to play because of the conditions shouldn't be happening at this level of the women's game.

    And that's it!

    Manchester United go top of the WSL. Rachel Williams breaks Reading's resilience late on.

    The hosts defended well and threatened in first half spells, but an away win feels justified.

    We're into the final minute but, if anything, a second Manchester United goal has felt much more likely.

    That was a really strong display from Everton, who look like a completely different team this season under Brian Sorensen and that was a statement performance against a side nearby in the league table. West Ham were off it from the start but they have made strides this season too. They just need more consistency.

    Reading 0-1 Manchester United

    Man Utd have had 24 shots, nine on target.

    Reading have had eight in total.

    A big win for Everton. West Ham just not at the races this afternoon and in the end made very little of an impression on the game.

    If you get a chance then make sure you watch Aggie Beever-Jones' goal. You won't want to miss it.
