    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Khiara Keating has been in the right place at the right time so often in this game.

    She claims the ball before Millie Bright can get to it.

    An incredibly mature performance from the 19-year-old.

    The crowd need to give as much energy to these City players as possible because these players will be running on empty now.

    I genuinely haven't seen anything like this before.

    Ashley Lawrence smashed into Hemp earlier this half and got away with it.

    Hemp definitely fouled Lauren James but could a free-kick have been punishment enough?

    Even Gareth Taylor is in the book now. I can't remember who ISN'T on a booking for Manchester City.

    I was surprised that Gareth Taylor had not brought off Hemp when she suffered the injury.

    She was on a yellow, getting tired and frustrated, and it was time Park was brought on.

    The yellow for dissent was under her control and then the shirt pull is a blatant second yellow.

    Tottenham 0-0 Bristol City

    Now it's Tottenham's time for a chance on goal.

    Martha Thomas pulls it back to Olga Ahtinen, but the Finland midfielder sends it well wide. A big opportunity missed.

  12. RED CARD - Lauren Hemp (Man City)published at 14:12 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Man City are down to NINE players!

    Lauren Hemp fouls her England team-mate Lauren James by pulling her arm and holding her back and she is sent off.

    When City are tired they are struggling to close down the space and it opens up for Lauren James to take the shot.

    She is magic from that distance.

    Just under 10 minutes have been played at Brisbane Road as Tottenham host Bristol City.

    The Women's Super League newcomers have had the first clear-cut chance of the match as Rebecca Spencer is forced into a vital save to deny Ffion Morgan.

    Man City have been down to 10 players since the 38th minute and they have done so well to keep Chelsea at bay.

    The job is not done just yet though.

    When one team is down to ten and just has to focus on defending it makes it hard for the opponent to find gaps and penetrate through the lines.

    Khiara Keating in goal for City has not had a save of note to make so far.

    But Chelsea just need to stay focused and not get frustrated, and keep trying to carve out opportunities

    Chloe Kelly breaks through at pace on the counter but Jess Carter stays with her and eventually makes the interception.

    Excellent from the Chelsea defender.
