Beautiful football! Villa pick City apart with a superb passing move, Rachel Daly is onside and behind the defence but the angle is unkind and from right of the penalty area she can only drag a bobbling shot across goal.

Last season they were flying in and that's the difference.

It's all nearly there for Villa, who look slick and organised and move the ball really nicely in midfield. It's just not clicking in the top part of the pitch for them.

The ball flies through the penalty area, not for the first time this afternoon, but Rachel Daly and co can't get a telling touch and City survive again.

Rachel Daly, who had an injury scare late in the first half, is back out there up front for Villa so good news all round. Can the England striker prove the difference in this second half?

And we're back up and running in Bristol...

A first defeat in 22 WSL home matches for Manchester City and a first loss to a non-London club at home since 2018, a run of 38 games ended.

Seismic result.

So here's how things are shaping up in the WSL after that Chelsea win and Manchester City's shock defeat to Brighton, which sees Gareth Taylor's side drop to fifth.

Manchester United move second with their win over West Ham while Tottenham and Liverpool remain level on points in third and fourth.

Arsenal will take on Leicester later on with the chance to move into the top three, three points off Chelsea and one point ahead of Manchester United.

If the Gunners don't win Chelsea will already have managed to stretch a decent lead.

Aston Villa have lost each of their last five WSL matches, their longest losing run since April 2021; they have never had a longer losing run in the WSL so an unwanted record is still a possibility. They were good in that first 45 though without managing to score.

Brighton have done it!

What a huge result. Manchester City will be kicking themselves after dominating and creating so many chances, but they didn't really test Sophie Baggaley enough.

That is their first WSL defeat to Brighton. A historic afternoon, but the best example of a smash and grab I've seen in a while.

Three goals, three points.

Chelsea remain top of the WSL with a comfortable victory over Everton.

A big week off the pitch for Emma Hayes' Chelsea, but job done on it.

We're into the second of three added minutes.

'Aggie for England' are the chants at Walton Hall Park after that goal.

That goal actually puts Aggie Beever-Jones level with Sjoeke Nusken as Chelsea top goalscorer this season with three.

No goals but plenty of incident at Ashton Gate between the bottom two.

Late Brighton change as Veatriki Sarri is on for Katie Robinson.

Guro Bergsvand clears off the line before Lauren Hemp's effort hits the bar and somehow strikes Sophie Baggaley's back but comes back out.

Baggaley then denies Chloe Kelly again!

City have been so unlucky there!

Bristol City keeper Kaylan Marckese can't carry on. She plays on after treatment but after making a further clearance she falls to the ground and calls for help.

Olivia Clark is on between the sticks and this marathon first half continues into a 54th minute...

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Matt Beard speaking on BBC Two: "I think we were lucky [to get the draw], especially with our first half performance - I was disappointed with our positional play. In the second half if there was going to be a winner it was going to be us.

"But look we take the point, especially with the way we started the game. I did feel though if there was going to be a winner today it would have been us.

On how far the side was off their best level: "We were miles off it, miles off it. We showed the players a few clips at half time of us walking to get back into shape, 60 yards of space in behind to exploit with the pace of Mel Lawley and Mia Enderby but we could hardly connected one or two passes together, or weren't in the right positions.

"We showed a different side to our game today, we had to grind a result out in the end. Maybe last year we would have lost it, but today we've taken a point. Maybe at the end we could have gotten all three."

Not far off for Aggie Beever-Jones, against the club she was on loan at last season.

Fran Kirby finds her on the right and she stabs an effort towards the far bottom corner but it flashes across the face of goal.

Emma Bissell tries a tame effort but it's easily collected by Ann-Katrin Berger.

That's the Toffees' first attempt in 30 minutes.
