    Liverpool 0-1 Leicester

    Huge win for Leicester! They had to ride their luck a bit at the end, Liverpool had two scrambles which looked certain to end up in the back of the net, but it's just a second WSL win of the season for the visitors.

    The Leicester keep is OK to carry on as Liverpool push on for an equaliser once more. They have a free-kick in a good spot.

    Brighton 2-6 Aston Villa

    Into stoppage time and another chance for Aston Villa. The header away only got as far as Alisha Lehmann and she puts the ball back across goal.

    Hacked clear in the end by Danielle Carter.

  11. ouch!

    Liverpool 0-1 Leicester

    Brilliant keeping again from Janina Leitzig who comes off her line and takes a cross with absolute command. She is hurt in the process and this is a nervy moment for the visitors.

    Villa nearly add a seventh as Alisha Lehmann works a yard of space on the edge of the box but fires the shot just over the bar.

    Good from Leicester, after a spell of Liverpool pressure, but Hannah Cain's shot is tame after good work from Sam Tierney.

    The collective gasp coming from Prenton Park could have been heard from the other side of the Mersey.

    First Ceri Holland was denied from a matter of yards out, then Natasha Dowie hit the bar from a similar position, and then the fourth official's flag was raised.

    Liverpool have improved since the break and their best chance of the game has just gone begging.

    Off go Rachel Daly, Kenza Dali and Lucy Staniforth and on come Emily Gielnik, Laura Blindkilde and Ruesha Littlejohn.

    For Brighton, more bad news as Rebekah Stott is forced off with an injury, Brianna Visalli replaces her. Poppy Pattinson is also on for Jorja Fox.

    HOW has that stayed out?! Remarkable.

    Melissa Lawley flashes in a great low cross that is asking to be put away, Ceri Holland steers it goalwards and Janina Leitzig just about makes a save.

    Tasha Dowie follows up and heads against the bar, before a third shot deflects right across the goal and away!

    GOAL - Brighton 2-6 Aston Villapublished at 15:28 Greenwich Mean Time 12 February 2023

    Jordan Nobbs

    Hat-trick - and what a way to do it! Jordan Nobbs had no business shooting from there!

    A little more than 30 yards out, in space and with no Brighton defenders closing her down, Nobbs took aim and rifled the ball into the top corner.

    Fantastic goal!
