They've had a few opportunities and Liverpool have been throwing bodies on the line. But it's a great finish from Dominique Janssen and there was not much that Teagan Micah could have done there. Man City 1-0 Leicester The Manchester wind seems to be playing havoc with the television cameras at the moment. Nothing much has changed in terms of the game itself though as Man City continue to be in total control of matters. Manchester United 3-0 Liverpool Natasha Dowie Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live Liverpool will want this team to win trophies. They want to build the team the right way. They are a big football club and there is money there for investment. They moved into a new training facility and now they've invested in a new stadium. Over the next few years, it will be about building that squad to challenge for titles and it will take time. But you can see that the women's team a business that the club takes seriously. They really want to help this team grow. Dominique Janssen (60 mins) Game over. Liverpool half-clear a United cross and Janssen calmly steers her left-footed shot from the edge of the box into the far bottom corner. Janssen's first goal of the season, and one which surely wraps the three points up. Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool United so close to a killer third goal.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton A neat turn and shot from Jessica Naz on the edge of the Everton penalty area, but she's being followed closely and her attempt is blocked. The Tottenham pressure continues to build but the ball just won't drop for Bethany England, who is unable to bring a pass under control and then heads wide from Ashleigh Neville's follow-up cross. Man City 1-0 Leicester Joe Rindl BBC Sport at Joie Stadium Nobody's made more saves in the top-flight this season than Janina Leitzig, but the Leicester keeper was caught out there. She got away with one. Also, Mary Fowler meant to cross it. I won't be told otherwise. Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Leigh Sports Village Liverpool have definitely come out stronger in the second half and Marc Skinner looks a bit concerned. He's just gestured to Celin Bizet and Melvine Malard to join Rachel Williams in warming up. Man City 1-0 Leicester Another free-flowing move down the right ends in a rasping cross from Mary Fowler that comes back off the upright. That was inches from going inside the near post.

Tottenham 0-0 Everton Another excellent set-piece is delivered perfectly into the box by Eveliina Summanen, and this time Bethany England manages to meet it but sends her header well wide under pressure from Megan Finnigan.

Manchester United 2-0 Liverpool Natasha Dowie Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live Liverpool have had their chances, but they've not been ruthless enough. That is what Matt Beard might be disappointed about with his team this season. At this level in the Women's Super League, you need to take your chances. Tottenham 0-0 Everton Eveliina Summanen whips in an inviting free-kick from deep but her team-mates fail to gamble and Courtney Brosnan grateful collects unchallenged. A lightning Everton attack then sees Melissa Lawley test Eleanor Heeps from distance, and the Spurs goalkeeper - looking to impress having been given this opportunity today - produces a fine save. Man City 1-0 Leicester Relentless attacking play from Man City as they look to add to that very early lead. Leicester have hardly made it out of their own half in this opening seven minutes or so. It could be a long afternoon ahead for the Foxes. .. Man City 1-0 Leicester Joe Rindl BBC Sport at Joie Stadium Too good, far too good. It was brilliant initial play from Yui Hasegawa who played a perfect pass to send through Kerstin Casparij, overlapping on the right. The City fans chant "feed the Bun and she will score". Got to be one of the S-tier WSL chants. Last Updated 8th December 2024 at 16: 21 Please Note: All times UK. Tables are subject to change.
