As it happened: Chelsea 3-1 Manchester City
Chelsea and Manchester City face off today in the biggest game of the Women’s Super League season so far.
Emma Hayes’ side were awarded the title last season on a points-per-game basis due to the coronavirus pandemic despite the campaign ending with Man City above them as they had played one game more.

The England international is slid in on goal and Roebuck comes charging out but doesn’t get the ball. Kirby takes it round and slots home from a difficult angle. Superb. She has been brilliant today.
That should be game over.
