    Gareth Taylor will be so proud of his team, the effort they have put into this game. Incredible.

    It better be a rest day for them tomorrow!

    Man City 1-1 Chelsea

    It's all done and dusted.

    Over 100 minutes of pure drama comes to an end.

    Man City finished the game with nine players but they managed to get a point from the game.

    The home fans boo referee Emily Heaslip but they can be proud of their side after such a battling performance.

    Before Sam Kerr's header, Laia Aleixandri made an absolutely goal saving challenge to deny Guro Reiten.

    Sublime defending.

    Olga Ahtinen

    It's a stunner from Olga Ahtinen! Tottenham finally have their goal.

    She's got acres of space to line up a shot and she fires it hard and low from 25-yards out into the bottom left corner.

    A first goal in a Spurs shirt for her - what a way to do it!

    A brilliant save from Khiara Keating in the first instance, she scoops the header from Bright from right on the goal line.

    The melee that ensues from that point, Reiten manages to force the ball over the line. It seems so unjust.

    Khiara Keating has been named Player of the Match.

    She has been absolutely immense in goal for Man City and will be devastated not to keep a clean sheet for her side.

    We've seen lots of yellow cards across the WSL so far today and it looks like that trend is going to continue.

    Ashleigh Neville has just gone in the book for time wasting, while Jamie-Lee Napier got one earlier for a handball offence.

    Guro Reiten (90 + 6 mins)

    Breakthrough for Chelsea!

    Oh that is gutting for Man City.

    Khiara Keating makes a sensational save to claw the ball away from her goal.

    Pinball in the box as Man City try to scramble it clear but Guro Reiten finds the back of the net from close range as Chelsea equalise in added time.

    Alanna Kennedy is down with cramp. Hardly a surprise given the amount of defending she has done in this game, especially since Man City have gone down to nine players.

    That free-kick from Eveliina Summanen had plenty of power to it, but the ball was always curling away from goal. It wasn't far off, though.

    We remain goalless at Brisbane Road.

    Millie Bright heads against the post, it comes down and Sam Kerr doesn't connect with it well enough.

    A great chance for Chelsea but it's not taken.

    Man City are holding on very well, everyone is pitching in and trying their absolute best to keep the ball out of their net.

    Chelsea are still struggling to create clear-cut chances.

    City can't bring any further subs on in this game but defender Steph Houghton, long time captain of this club, has turned into the ultimate cheerleader on the touchline.

    She is guiding and encouraging her team-mates to the finish here.

    Hemp got a second yellow for a foul that was less a yellow then when she got caught late and injured!

    Martha Thomas gets a shot horribly wrong but it somehow turns into a cross for Ashleigh Neville to run onto. She heads it goalwards but it's straight at Kaylan Marckese.

    Tottenham are dominating these opening stages - they've had over 70% possession.
