    Liverpool 1-1 Bristol City

    Liverpool just keep going! Taylor Hinds drills a pass towards Sophie Haug but it's got slightly too much power on it and the forward can't connect.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    Really not much to report in this one. It's all been a bit scrappy with neither side spending any meaningful time on the ball.

    Sophie Haug (57 mins)

    Liverpool level!

    Matt Beard's side changed their formation after bringing on Melissa Lawley and it pays dividends.

    The ball falls to Sophie Haug at the back post and she fires past Olivia Clark to cancel out Bristol City's lead.

    Liverpool 0-1 Bristol City

    That was a fantastic chance.

    Sophie Haug nods the ball towards Shanice van de Sanden and it's set up perfectly for the Netherlands international to volley, but she sends her effort just wide.

    Brighton 0-2 Leicester

    Another injury concern for Leicester here, Josie Green is down receiving treatment.

    Foxes boss Willie Kirk won't want to make another injury-enforced swap early on in this second half as was the case in the first half.

    Liverpool 0-1 Bristol City

    Melissa Lawley hasn't been on the pitch for long and tries to run past Bristol City defender Ella Powell.

    It doesn't work well, though, and she can't sprint quickly enough to recover the ball after knocking it past Powell.

  7. CLOSE!published at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Brighton 0-2 Leicester

    Brighton so close to grabbing one back.

    Striker Elisabeth Terland looks to have shaken off that earlier injury issue as she latches onto a through ball and shapes to shoot.

    Her driven effort is denied by a brilliant late block from Julie Thibaud.

    Grace Fisk goes into the referee's book after tripping Jamie-Lee Napier.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    Everton have a corner and the state of the corner flag at Chigwell Construction Stadium tells you something about the weather, it's practically horizontal as the wind whips round the ground.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Liverpool 0-1 Bristol City

    Liverpool make a change with Melissa Lawley replacing Emma Koivisto.

  11. Postpublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Liverpool 0-1 Bristol City

    That's Amalie Thestrup's fifth Women's Super League goal of the season – and she's managed half of her club's entire tally.

    Bristol City have only scored 10 goals so far.

  12. Postpublished at 15:12 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Brighton 0-2 Leicester

    Leicester seem keen to get the three points sewn up as soon as possible, not content with a two goal advantage.

    Second scorer of the afternoon Jutta Rantala takes aim from distance, but Brighton stopper Sophie Baggaley is equal to it.

    Amalie Thestrup (50 mins)

    The visitors take the lead!

    Ffion Morgan takes a corner for Bristol City – their third corner within the space of four minutes – and it's knocked around the box as Liverpool fail to properly clear.

    Ella Powell lofts the ball back across the box and Abi Harrison send a scuffed shot goalwards, but former Liverpool striker Amalie Thestrup is there to change its direction and send the ball past Teagan Micah.

    Brighton 0-2 Leicester

    As if things could not have started any worse for Brighton in this second half, top scorer Elisabeth Terland looks to have an injury issue.

    She has left the field for treatment. Here's hoping for the home side's sake she is ok to continue.

  15. 'What a day to be an Arsenal player'published at 15:09 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    FT: Arsenal 4-1 Chelsea

    Arsenal

    Arsenal forward Beth Mead, speaking to the BBC after the victory: "It was pretty amazing. What a day. What a day to be an Arsenal fan. What a day to be an Arsenal player."

    On scoring at a packed out Emirates Stadium: "Does it get better than that? Scoring in front of 59,000 people, against Chelsea, putting your team ahead at the time. It was pretty incredible."

    On the importance of getting all three points against Chelsea: "I think, as cliche as it sounds, you take one game at a time. We know we needed to win this game today. Football is a funny game, you never know how it's going to go.

    "I thought that overall the team were incredible today. From minute one, we were so intense and great on and off the ball. I thought that gave us that extra edge, and I scored a goal which always helps."

    On how close Arsenal are to being their best: "You've seen a very good version of Arsenal today. That is the level we can get to and build on.

    "It's been a long time coming, we've been putting the work in while no one was watching, so it was nice to show that on the pitch today. Everybody on the team, from starters to finishers, were incredible."

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    Brilliant mazy run from Viviane Asseyi through the middle to find a way through the back line. Her shot is a bit tame, though, and it trickles wide.

    GOAL - Brighton 0-2 Leicesterpublished at 15:06 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    (Jutta Rantala, 46 mins)

    Just as the second half gets under way Leicester strike for a second time.

    Their other top provider of goal involvements this season Jutta Rantala makes her mark yet again.

    She is teed up on the edge of the box, takes a touch to set herself, and expertly curls the ball into the top right corner.

    Melissa Phillips' half time team talk to her Brighton side has been totally undone within two minutes.

    West Ham 0-0 Everton

    Ooooh, chance for Everton to get on top early doors.

    Lovely ball in from Heather Payne but Nicoline Sorensen hacks at her shot and it's well wide.

  19. KICK-OFFpublished at 15:06 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Brighton 0-1 Leicester

    Leicester get the ball is back rolling at Broadfield Stadium.

    A tough task ahead for hosts Brighton who were winless in six home matches before today.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 15:05 Greenwich Mean Time 10 December 2023

    Well it hasn't taken long after the restart to for the referee to get her cards out.

    Gemma Bonner swipes at a Bristol City player and goes into the book.
