Arsenal 1-0 West Ham: Arsenal have had 74% possession in this match so far with eight shots on goal. They need to be more clinical to put this game to bed.
Manchester United 0-0 Everton: We’re still yet to see a goal at the Progress With Unity Stadium. United will be determined to bounce back from their midweek draw against West Ham.
GOAL! London City Lionesses 0-1 Chelsea (Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, 23)
First goal at The Den!
London City lose the ball in midfield and a long pass is chipped forward. Beever-Jones is there to flick it on to Kaneryd, who runs through before passing the ball into the bottom corner.
GOAL! Manchester City 3-1 Tottenham (Khadija Shaw, 20)
It’s a 20-minute hat-trick for Shaw!
Kerolin receives the ball on the edge of the box and waits for the perfect moment before swinging a cross into danger zone, where it meets the run of Shaw. The striker gets her head to it once again and sends the ball flying into the net.
What a start to the match for the striker!
GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Tottenham (Khadija Shaw, 18)
And just like that, City lead again – from another corner!
Once again, Greenwood swings the ball into the box and this time Shaw rises to get there first and nod the ball into the net.
Arsenal 1-0 West Ham: How have Arsenal not scored another?! Russo unleashes a powerful strike from just outside the box, which is saved by Szemik. Smith then fires a volley towards the target, which is also saved brilliantly. Kelly gets the final attempt away, but blasts it over the crossbar!
GOAL! Manchester City 1-1 Tottenham (Olivia Holdt, 15)
Spurs are level!
Spence sends a brilliant pass over the City defence and through to Holdt, who beats Knaak for pace before slotting her shot past Keating and into the bottom-right corner.
Arsenal 1-0 West Ham: Smith beats Cascarino for pace to pick up a through ball in the box before squaring a pass across goal. Russo looks to shoot, but her effort deflects over the crossbar.
GOAL! Manchester City 1-0 Tottenham (Khadija Shaw, 8)
Shaw fires City into the lead!
Greenwood sends a corner into the box and Blakstad fails to clear the ball away. It drops directly to Shaw in the six-yard box, who does not hesitate before smashing her shot home.
Zach Neeley has messaged in to say:
“Caldentey, Smith, Russo, Kelly, Blackstenius. That’s A LOT for West Ham’s defence to have running at it…”
GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 West Ham (Stina Blackstenius, 4)
Arsenal get the first goal of the afternoon!
Kelly sends a cross into the danger zone from the left and Blackstenius pounces to poke the ball into the net.
Manchester City v Tottenham: City are pressing high in the early stages, but Spurs remain compact at the back.

Preamble
Hello, good morning and welcome to another WSL clockwatch! We have four games to look forward to this afternoon as league leaders Manchester City host Tottenham, Manchester United take on Everton, Chelsea travel to London City Lionesses and Arsenal face West Ham.
It could be a huge day in the title race, with City looking to bounce back after dropping points against Aston Villa last week. Although they remain seven points clear, another slip-up today could allow the likes of Chelsea, United and Arsenal to pile on the pressure in the final weeks of the season.
I’ll be guiding you through it all – join me!
