    Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses

    The speed with which London City can go from back to front is just frightening at times.

    They do it so smoothly with some great one-touch passing and excellent movement off the ball.

    Their latest example comes to nothing, though, as Lucia Corrales just overruns it down the left.

    Chelsea continue to push for a second. Keira Walsh pokes a low cross into the box just wide.

    To Paul and Steve (14:49) I would say that LCL are independently funded and don't have the massive resources and facilities available to the like of Man City, Arsenal and, dare I say Tottenham Hotspur.

    Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses

    Oh my word, that had to be a second for Tottenham.

    Great work from Olivia Holdt on the right, the ball is swung into the middle and Victoria Pelova is all alone in the middle.

    Open goal, free header but she puts it wide. Huge miss.

    I think you would be disappointed from a London City point of view. They were controlling most of the game and now have lost that clean sheet.

    The goal has woken up the Tottenham fans though.

    Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Abbie Larkin gets in behind the Villa defence but her decision-making isn't there once again.

    She needs to cut it back for a team-mate but lashes one across the face of goal where there's no one.

    Victoria Pelova (53 mins)

    There's one back...

    A lovely switch of play gets the ball out to Julie Blakstad on the left and her cross eventually lands at the feet of Victoria Pelova.

    A slightly scuffed finish but it finds the bottom corner. Hope for Spurs? Maybe just a glimmer...

    Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Palace are all over the place here and Miri Taylor snatches at her shot.

    She's got far more time than she knows there and it should be 2-0.

    If it wasn't all over before... it is now!

    More relentless pressing sees Julie Blakstad give it away inside her own half. London City go forward, Alexia Putellas plays a lovely first-time pass around the corner.

    That finds Kadidiatou Diani in space on the right of the box and her low cross is squeezed home by Danielle van de Donk.

    Shocking from Spurs, but if you have Putellas and Diani, you can beat anyone. Still have misgivings about the LCL approach to spending money, but it is great to see these players in the WSL.

    Brilliant from Brighton. The Seagulls knock the ball around the edge of the box through Kiko Seike and Fran Kirby. It eventually drops for Olaug Tvedten whose shot is blocked, but Seike is following up on the rebound to hammer a first-time strike into the bottom corner.

    That's her second and Brighton look set for their first league win of the season.

    Mapi Leon, who has her left wrist strapped up after that incident late in the first half, takes the free-kick for London City but it drifts well wide.

    Breaththrough!

    Chasity Grant makes the run down the right and pulls a lovely ball across the box for Noelle Maritz to run on to and slot into the opposite corner.

    What a way to score your first league goal for Villa.

    Tottenham 0-3 London City Lionesses

    Drew Spence is very relieved to hear the referee's whistle after she is dispossessed by Alexia Putellas just 30 yards from her own goal.

    A little nudge from the London City captain is enough to earn the free-kick.

    More pressure from the visitors does see them win the ball back, though, and now they've got a free-kick about 30 yards out.

    West Ham 0-1 Chelsea

    Nice attack from West Ham as Viviane Asseyi races down the right, although her cross is far too close to Hannah Hampton who easily catches.

    Aston Villa 0-0 Crystal Palace

    The ball is played into the box and there is Lynn Wilms in a decent bit of space but she curls her effort wide.

    A decent chance there and she knows it.

    New half but it's the same London City.

    Lucia Corrales bursts past substitute Ella Morris and fires a ball across the face of goal. No-one could get on the end of it this time.

    Tottenham 0-3 London City Lionesses

    Back under way at BetWright Stadium.

    Perhaps no surprise that Martin Ho has made a couple of changes to the Spurs side as they try to claw their way back from 3-0 down.

    Caitlin Dijkstra and Kirsty Hanson have been replaced by Ella Morris and Matilda Vinberg.
