Tottenham 3-1 Bristol City
Ten minutes of normal time to go at Brisbane Road. Tottenham are in the driving seat and look comfortable holding onto the ball to run the clock down.
Leicester 0-0 Everton
Ouch!
Martina Piemonte is down after a collision near the half way line.
Everton captain Megan Finnigan goes to the referee to discuss the robust challenge made on the Italian by a Leicester defender.
Tottenham 3-1 Bristol City
Brooke Aspin comes off for Satara Murray. Shania Hayles replaces goalscorer Amalie Thestrup.
Can these changes from Lauren Smith spark something for Bristol City?
Leicester 0-0 Everton
Almost the opener against the run of play!
Martina Piemonte battles with the Leicester centre halves in the middle of the pitch and works it forward to Heather Payne.
She manages to squeeze her shot past the on-rushing Janina Leitzig, but the offside flag goes up almost immediately.
Tottenham 3-1 Bristol City
That is brilliant last ditch defending from Naomi Layzell.
The Bristol City defender slides in and whacks the ball over her own goal to stop a cross from reaching Martha Thomas.
Tottenham 3-1 Bristol City
There are some bold strikes being hit from long range.
First Rachel Furness for Bristol City, then Celin Bizet for Spurs. Both are well wide.
Jess Naz is the next player to have a go. It's on target this time, but it's reasonably comfortable for Kaylan Marckese.
Leicester 0-0 Everton
Another fleeting opportunity for Everton on the break.
A ball from Heather Payne flies across the six yard box, evading the outstretched leg of Martina Piemonte by mere inches.
Tottenham 3-1 Bristol City
Tottenham weren't far off a fourth there.
Drew Spence whips a free-kick into Bristol's box but Martha Thomas can only head it into the side netting.
Leicester 0-0 Everton
The home side are building up another head of steam here.
Missy Goodwin and Josie Green are combining particularly well down the right hand side.
Everton are struggling to find a reliable out ball at the moment.
Tottenham 3-1 Bristol City
Ella Powell and Megan Connolly are off for the Robins. Rachel Furness and Mari Ward are on.
Leicester 0-0 Everton
Another chance for Leicester, Jutta Rantala takes aim from the edge of the box.
Clearly full of confidence after scoring twice and providing an assist in her substitute appearance against Bristol City last week.
Amalie Thestrup
Bristol City have a goal back from the penalty spot.
Amalie Thestrup steps up and slots the ball high into the right side of the net as Rebecca Spencer dives the wrong way.
Only two goals in it now. It's a big ask, but Bristol have been so much stronger since the break.
Tottenham 3-0 Bristol City
Bristol City have a penalty! Eveliina Summanen, who scored that stunning free-kick in the first half, commits a handball offence in the box.
Leicester 0-0 Everton
The first yellow card of the game goes to Everton's Lucy Hope for scything down Missy Goodwin while on the run.
The Leicester winger has enjoyed herself down that right hand side so far.
Although she won't have enjoyed that rather blunt challenge.
Tottenham 3-0 Bristol City
Our first substitution comes from Robert Vilahamn.
The Spurs boss switches out Grace Clinton for Jessica Naz.
Tottenham 3-0 Bristol City
A tactical foul there from Brooke Aspin to stop a Tottenham counter-attack.
Leicester 0-0 Everton
Everton just enjoying some possession of their own in the Leicester half after that little spell of pressure from the home side.
Since that shot from Martina Piemonte in the opening minutes they have struggled to get out of their own half on too many occasions.
Leicester 0-0 Everton
The home side are just working up the gears here.
Shannon O'Brien was the latest player to charge towards Emily Ramsey just now while she was on the ball, and yet again the Everton stopper was caught short.
The away side keep trying to play the ball out from the back but it looks risky against this very high press from Leicester.
Tottenham 3-0 Bristol City
Ffion Morgan hits an effort over the crossbar.
Bristol City aren't giving up. I wonder what Lauren Smith said in her half-time team talk - they look a completely different side.
Tottenham 3-0 Bristol City
A promising start for Bristol City. Two good chances.
The first trickles just wide from a Jamie-Lee Napier header, while the second - a Ffion Morgan strike - is saved by Rebecca Spencer.
