It's grown into a great game in the Midlands.

Leicester are making much more of an impression than they did earlier and enjoying a lot of success down the right-hand side.

They're yet to trouble Anna Leat since the opener, though.

Liverpool 0-3 Man City

That's not the first time Rachael Laws has been lucky to get away under pressure at the back.

Her clearance is charged down by Lauren Hemp but the deflection takes the power out of it and Laws is able to collect before it causes any issues.

Post update

Liverpool 0-3 Man City

Liverpool started well, but since then it's been one-way traffic.

City had 81.7% possession between the 15th and 30th minutes.

'City did not panic'

They just did not panic in those opening stages when Liverpool had been good.

Three wonderful goals from Manchester City.

Difficult for Liverpool now.

An immediate response!

Jutta Rantala finds Yuka Momiki inside the box and the Leicester forward levels the scoring.

She tucks her shot past Anna Leat at the near post.

Oooh.

A loose pass in the midfield reminds Man City that Liverpool can still pose a problem going forward.

Leanne Kiernan is free to run towards Khiara Keating's goal but she sends her shot narrowly wide of the near post.

Villa lead!

Kenza Dali gets past the Leicester defence wide on the right-hand side and there was no doubt about the outcome after Dali's delivery.

She picks out Adriana Leon at the back post and all it needs is a routine tap-in to send it past Lize Kop and score the opener.

Villa receive another booking - Alisha Lehmann is penalised for dissent.

There are not many words I can find to do this justice.

Oh my word.

I was writing some statistics on her headed goals this season but that is great.

That is one of the best finishes you will see all season.

Khadija Shaw has the ball in the middle of Liverpool's half, she takes a lovely touch to take it past Gemma Bonner, then unleashes a wonderful strike into the top corner.

Spectacular.

They just lull Liverpool into a sense of security and pull them out of shape.

Pinpoint finish across the keeper.

They have another!

Well, Liverpool's momentum didn't last long.

Jess Park has had a great few weeks and it's a lovely piece of individual skill to provide her side's second goal of the afternoon, dribbling past Gemma Bonner before sending a shot in off the far post.

She scored two in the Manchester derby last weekend, now she has another.

City know that goal difference matters and they're trying to extend their lead.

Mary Fowler forces Grace Fisk to put the ball out for a corner, but City can't make any use of the set piece.

Manchester City have avoided defeat in their last 14 matches when scoring the opening goal in the Women's Super League, dating back to 2nd April 2023 against Arsenal (L1-2).

That's exactly how quickly Manchester City can hit you.

A player we haven't mentioned a lot yet, Lauren Hemp, finds the net.

City take the lead!

It hasn't been perfect from the title challengers, but they've finally found a way to break the deadlock.

The ball reaches Mary Fowler out wide and Rachel Laws is forced to make a quick stop after Fowler plays the ball to Jess Park.

Laws makes the initial stop, but Lauren Hemp is ready and waiting to collect the ball and rifle into the bottom corner.

City haven't really got going.

They try to move forward after Laura Coombs snatches possession in the middle, but Mary Fowler is too wide to cause any issues for the Liverpool defence after she receives the ball and the chance fizzles out.

The way that they have played so far has been really effective.

That says a lot.

Liverpool have dominated this one, perhaps surprisingly.

They've had 65% possession so far.
