Check out what happened in the two biggest games of the weekend in the Women’s Super League through our live blog below.
Reading 1-1 Manchester United
69 min: Not much going on in the field for a couple of minutes so the cameraman has decided to pan to a man with a Manchester United beanie hat on, complemented by an elf outfit.
Great Britain, ladies and gentlemen.
Reading 1-1 Manchester United
70 min: Oooo, think Kirsty Hanson is too honest for her own good here. She bursts into the area and gets the wrong side of Leine. The Reading defender then clearly trips her but Hanson stays on her feet and can’t pick out a United player with her cross.
I’m not saying players should throw themselves to the ground, but maybe throw yourself to the ground? That would have been a penalty, surely.

72 min: SUB! Jane Ross coming on for Kirsty Hanson.

73 min: Worth noting that Leine, the perpetrator of that Hanson foul/potential foul, is on a booking. That’s the second time she has got away with avoiding a second yellow. She could easily have had three already.

76 min: CHANCE! Great opportunity for Reading. Williams clips a free-kick in and it goes all the way through without a touch and finds Cooper at the back post, but she lashes her effort into the side-netting.

Reading 1-1 Manchester United
79 min: Chance for United now as both sides look for all three points here!
It’s pinball inside the Reading box and Jane Ross is sniffing around trying to get it under control but in the end she can’t get a clean connection and somehow it bounces off a number of shirts and away.

80 min: SUBS! Rowe is on for Reading as she replaces Eikeland.
Lucy Staniforth, who only came on in the second half, has also gone off for Katie Zelem. Looks to have suffered an injury, although not sure how she picked it up.

82 min: GOAL! Manchester United know how to win and it’s Hayley Ladd who may have just scored the crucial goal!
A corner from Heath is flicked on by Millie Turner and Hayley Ladd is in the perfect spot six yards out, completely unmarked, to nod home what could prove to be the winner!
