    Aston Villa 1-1 Bristol City

    Excellent tackle by Ella Powell on the right touchline but the Bristol City full-back then overhits her pass just when it looked like the visitors might be in.

    Nice move from Aston Villa, going from back to front smartly.

    Adriana Leon is in space on the right but her cross - one of many from the home side in this first half - is put behind for a corner.

    The corner is cleared to the edge of the penalty area and Noelle Maritz hits the bouncing ball high and wide.

    Chance!

    Superb from Kirsty Hanson until the finish. She gets to the byeline down the left, beats a defender and creates space for the shot.

    She goes for power but smashes it over the bar. She'll feel she should have done better from there.

    There have been plenty of nearly moments since Bristol City equalised.

    This time it's one for the visitors as Emily Syme pounces on a poor header in midfield, skips past Anna Patten but then leaves the ball behind when she would have had a clear run on goal.

    After another scrappy passage of play, Aston Villa get Kirsty Hanson in down the left channel.

    Her cross is overhit, though, and Adriana Leon's ball in is headed away.

    Since the goal, Villa have failed to turn promising situations into any real chances of note.

    Bristol City win back possession and quickly create a decent opportunity.

    Lisa Evans plays a good ball down the left to Jamie-Lee Napier, who cuts inside but the shot is a tame one.

    Villa promptly go down the other end and Rachel Daly heads wide.

    After a bit of a lull following the equaliser, Aston Villa are back on top and pushing to retake the lead.

    They look dangerous whenever they get into the final third.

    Villa come forward again and Adriana Leon's shot from a tight angle is saved by Shae Yanez.

    Rachel Daly isn't happy that the ball wasn't put across goal, where she was waiting.

    Fantastic Cruyff turn from Rachel Daly to win Villa a free-kick.

    It was around the halfway line with no immediate danger to Bristol City but that was a superb bit of skill.

    Lovely play from Kenza Dali.

    The Villa number 10 jinks past a couple of tackles but her shot from the corner of the box is comfortably held by Shae Yanez.

    The Bristol City press is working well but it is Aston Villa who nearly profit from putting the opposition under pressure.

    Rachel Daly closes down Shae Yanez, who scuffs the clearance straight to Kirsty Hanson but the former Manchester United winger slips at the key moment.

    Let off for City.

    After a brief delay as Bristol City keeper Shae Yanez receives some treatment - allowing both managers to relay some tactical information to their sides, we're back under way.

    Amalie Thestrup

    Instant response!

    Aston Villa lose the ball in their own half and are ruthlessly punished by Bristol City.

    A loose ball out from Anna Patten was intercepted, allowing Emily Syme to slip the ball through for Amalie Thestrup.

    The forward coolly pokes the ball past Daphne van Domselaar and we're all square again.

    Jordan Nobbs

    It had been coming!

    Bristol City can only half-clear the corner and the ball eventually comes to Jordan Nobbs on the edge of the box.

    She takes aim and finds the bottom corner courtesy of a big deflection.

    The pressure tells for Villa.

    Bristol City clear the free-kick but Villa come back at them and Adriana Leon, who has been heavily involved so far, wins a corner.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 11 mins

    Aston Villa 0-0 Bristol City

    Brilliant work by Adriana Leon down the right and she is taken out by Jamie-Lee Napier.

    That was pretty much a clothesline (one for the wrestling fans...).

    Yellow card and a free-kick in a dangerous position for Villa.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Bristol City

    It is all Aston Villa now!

    The hosts come forward again and after Adriana Leon shows good footwork inside the box, Rachel Daly's acrobatic effort is blocked and Mayumi Pacheco's follow-up effort is straight at the keeper.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Bristol City

    Villa are pushing for the opener now and another ball over the defence finds Kirsty Hanson.

    Shae Yanez comes out to meet her but Hanson lifts the ball into the middle towards Rachel Daly.

    The striker is being closely marked, though, and Bristol City manage to scramble the ball clear.

  20. GREAT SAVE!published at 6 mins

    Aston Villa 0-0 Bristol City

    After a very scruffy start, Aston Villa suddenly turn it on and Adriana Leon nearly puts them in front.

    Some neat interplay down the left leads to Rachel Daly chipping the ball over the top for Kirsty Hanson down the left.

    Her cut back gets all the way to Leon towards the back post but Shae Yanez sticks out a boot to make a crucial save.
