Good evening. With defending WSL champions Chelsea not in action, we | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
will see whether any of their closest rivals could take advantage. | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
With high-flying Manchester City extend their lead at the top with | :00:54. | :01:02. | |
victory over Sunderland? Arsenal aimed to maintain their title talent | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
by despatching Liverpool. And could Birmingham make it 11 unbeaten when | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
they travelled to struggling concourse to? -- concourse to? And | :01:10. | :01:19. | |
with the Olympics days away, we thought it would be fitting to meet | :01:20. | :01:27. | |
the Team GB squad. Would begin at the academy Stadium, where leaders | :01:28. | :01:29. | |
Manchester City hosted struggling Sunderland. Could the league's most | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
porous defence resist against the free scoring City attack must be | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
headed by Jane Ross? -- spearheaded by Jane Ross. | :01:45. | :02:08. | |
A striker who is simply oozing with confidence. | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
Sunderland, the latest side attending to put a stop to the | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Manchester City juggernaut storming towards the title. A win would see | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
them go four point clear at the top of the league. One enforced change, | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
McManus was stretchered off during the 5-1 win at Notts County, Stokes | :02:30. | :02:38. | |
comes in at left back. Despite a heavy 4-0 loss at Arsenal, | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
Sunderland boss keeps the faith and names and unchanged side. | :02:46. | :03:04. | |
Jane Ross manages to win a corner kick. | :03:05. | :03:19. | |
Noted on, its hit the bar! It's nodded off the line by Rachel | :03:20. | :03:28. | |
Furnace! How close was that for Manchester City! Jane Ross looking | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
for her 11th goal of the season, inches away from getting it. | :03:36. | :03:44. | |
Stanway does really well to win the ball. She has beaten the key plateau | :03:45. | :03:58. | |
near post! She gives men to the city believed! A powerful strike from the | :03:59. | :04:06. | |
17-year-old. Lawless, furious with herself and her defence for not | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
closing the youngster down. She struck that so sweetly and | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
Manchester City finally have the least. | :04:18. | :04:38. | |
And she was beaten that time, the keeper. The crossbar | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
Here is standard for. Sunderland having a late surge at the end of | :04:50. | :05:00. | |
this first half. Bronze once the first half and doesn't get it. Not | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
quite in the right position there, the keeper. I don't think she was | :05:08. | :05:18. | |
expecting Furness to go for goal, and in the end, she did really well. | :05:19. | :05:32. | |
expecting Furness to go for goal, and in the end, Filed in the end. | :05:33. | :05:33. | |
Sunderland, showing some promise here. | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
City, looking to strike back. In the Jill Scott. | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
Stanway! Another clinical strike from the 17-year-old. Just like | :05:47. | :05:58. | |
that, City go 2-0 up. That is three in two games for Stanway, right in | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
the corner. No chance for the keeper with that one. | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
Danger not averted for Sunderland. Looking for Paris, Sharp was there, | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
behind for a corner. Christiansen once again with the | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
corner. The shop was on target. Furnace | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
begin doing a defensive duty. She tries to look for the run of | :06:36. | :07:02. | |
Christiansen. Excellent defending. A goal saving challenge by Canon to | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
intercept. Off-line! And again, Staniforth in | :07:06. | :07:21. | |
the right place, the second time she has done that. | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
Stanway! And there it is! Stanway with a hat-trick! What an afternoon | :07:30. | :07:48. | |
she has had! In off the post. Three goals for Manchester City and three | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
goals for Georgia Stanway. This one arguably the pick of the bunch. Does | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
it get much better than that? Definitely not. Starting, scoring, | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
winning, credit to the team as well, a good performance, very special | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
day. I just think she is fearless, very competitive in the way she | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
plays as she works very hard and we are aware she's young player and | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
needs developing, which is a huge strategy of hours with men's and | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
women's teams but when she plays like she did and takes her chances | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
like she did, she will keep her place in the team. We kept the ball | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
well at times, we created a few good moments for ourselves, where we got | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
in behind, got a couple of shots at goal which was good, we just needed | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
to build on that. Six games to go, you happy and confident? Had because | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
we're top of the league but there is a long way to go and hard games to | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
play. If we keep winning, just see where we end up. | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
Manchester City, not quite as free-flowing as last week but got | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
the job done and continued that dominant form. And that's why they | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
continue to be at the top of the league, they weren't firing on all | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
cylinders but the quality shone through, they were relentless | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
against Sunderland yesterday, some really good quality on display. | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Let's talk about Georgia Stanway, just 17, fearless and keeping Tony | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Duggan out of the starting line-up and you can see why. Having played | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
with Duggan when she was 17, she completely reminds me of her, her | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
fearlessness, willingness to run at place, she is both right and left | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
footed, likes cutting in from the left, scoring from all kinds of | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
distances but her overall play is outstanding, she's checking her | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
shoulders when she is receiving the ball, her passes are drilled in, she | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
finds open spaces, recognises space out wide on this occasion and just | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
feeds in with the other team-mates, it is quality from both ends of the | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
pitch. She gets her rewards early on, she doesn't have much right to | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
win the ball, she does and she picks the spot. Whether the keeper should | :10:10. | :10:16. | |
allow that to going, near post... But this one is a clinical drive, we | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
see her team-mate setting her up for the best of the three, left foot | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
strike from outside the box full. Comes off the pitch to a deserved | :10:29. | :10:39. | |
standing ovation. She has been given an opportunity by the manager, it's | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
a big call to leave it can out somebody who is 17 but it shows you | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
what you can do if you get an opportunity and she is more than | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
capable. Real competition for places, that helps in terms of | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
providing consistency. We started off this season saying that they had | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
a small squad, and they have had it in the window and they have | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
integrated so seamlessly, Jane Ross, Megan Campbell, Georgia Stanway | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
being given her chance, there is real competition for places and as | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
Casey says, give players chance, they have to take the chance and | :11:15. | :11:23. | |
keep proving. We talked about Jane Ross, highlighted her, she didn't | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
get on the scoresheet but when teams like Sunderland sit deep and make | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
things congested, that linkup play is vital. She is the focal point of | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
every Manchester City attack, she has one of the best movements of any | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
forward of the league. She can go behind, come short, she is strong, | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
she can link other players in, great one touch play get Lucy Bronze on | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
the ball and she is one of the hardest players to play against, her | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
movement here is so clever, as a centre half, you know you are going | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
to have a hard game against her. Must be a nightmare to mark her, she | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
is everywhere. She nearly gets a just reward with the header, we have | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
seen her score right foot, left foot, headers this season, quality. | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
That win for Manchester City meant Arsenal couldn't afford to slip up | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
against Liverpool, unbeaten since before the mid-season break. | :12:26. | :12:34. | |
Arsenal very much part of what looks like being a 3-way battle for the | :12:35. | :12:51. | |
title. No Rosie White today for a Liverpool, the New Zealand | :12:52. | :12:53. | |
international has gone to the Olympics with her country. Into the | :12:54. | :13:00. | |
side comes top scorer Katie Zelem, while Alex Greenwood is replaced by | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
Van den Bergh left back. Plenty of talent for Mark Sampson to | :13:03. | :13:20. | |
watch today. They will look to get Nobbs on the ball at every available | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
opportunity. Carter scored but winning goal in the cup final | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
against Chelsea, and Williams comes into play here and it is deflected! | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
That is a huge slice of fortune for Arsenal. Exactly the sort of thing | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
may be that you need when you are chasing a league title. They will | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
take it all day long. A nightmare for Chamberlain, because there was | :13:47. | :13:47. | |
nothing she could do about it. Weir has been one of Liverpool's | :13:48. | :14:09. | |
best players this season. That is a good turn, and what a hit! Fantastic | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
finish by Vandersay and in, picked out of the top corner, and that is a | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
beauty. No wonder they are celebrating, Liverpool are level. | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
She didn't even look, she knew exactly where the goal was, top | :14:27. | :14:28. | |
polity. That is to effect finish from van de Sanden. A good | :14:29. | :14:48. | |
save by Chamberlain, got down sharply to her right hand side | :14:49. | :15:02. | |
there. A great save by Chamberlain. A strong challenge coming in on | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
Nobbs from Combs. Arsenal are looking stretched at the back here, | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
and van de Sanden is an unmarked in the middle, his shears, and a great | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
save! That was a brilliant stop. All she needed to do was to put the ball | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
in, side footed in, and that is incredible goalkeeping. | :15:27. | :15:36. | |
That is an overlapping run here by the left back. Vandenberg wasn't | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
taking any chances, knew that Carter was coming in behind her. Not much | :15:44. | :15:49. | |
time there that Jansen has got herself forward, put herself in the | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
box. They have worked that really well between them, and Nobbs! A good | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
save down at the other end by Chamberlain. That was a good shot | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
from Nobbs, it looked like it was going in the top corner. The lay-off | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
by Lund. A break for the Swede again here, and it is going to be a free | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
kick from Liverpool, fouled by Fara Williams, and this is a nice | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
distance out to have a go at goal. The free kick given away by one of | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
Arsenal's most experienced players, but it is Weir who will really fancy | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
this, just in her sort of range. Can she work the keeper here? It is | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
glorious! What a strike by Caroline Weir! Van Veenendaal barely moved, | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
and Liverpool have come from behind to lead here at Meadow Park. Whether | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
it was the quality of the free kick, that just looked too easy. Van | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
Veenendaal I'll just took a step to the left, I don't know where she for | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
Weir was going to put it. McCabe has done well here, and Oshoala just | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
couldn't get the touch to it. She just tried to roll the ball through, | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
and in the end it landed at Alex Scott's feat. It would have been | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
offside had she got a touch to it. The seconds are ebbing away here for | :17:38. | :17:51. | |
Arsenal. The push by van de Sanden. The delivery has to be good from | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
Williams. A really good punch clear by Chamberlain, Williams to try | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
again. It was a deep cross, Chamberlain couldn't get there! | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
Just, just off target. I thought that was in. They teasing ball. She | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
just needed to get her head on the end of it, and it just went the | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
wrong side of the post for her. It was a good game of football, they | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
played fantastic stuff, but so did we. I thought we were more clinical | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
and we deserved the win. How difficult is that today jest? | :18:24. | :18:36. | |
61% possession and 24 shots. It was hard, but he is right, they were | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
more clinical than us, we had more shots and more possession, but you | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
have to turn them into goals. More clinical on the day? Absolutely. | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
Liverpool gave them chances from outside the box. We see here in | :18:49. | :18:55. | |
Italia gets the chance. I think what she does is press the ball, at least | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
take our eye off it. That was a well worked corner from the training | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
ground, a pretty good save from Siobhan Chamberlain, and the chances | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
kept coming. Oshoala really should have got on the end of this, and | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
this towering header, shows her athletic ability, but she could have | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
put that in the back of the net. She is strong in the air, but that is | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
the best chance of the game from me for the white and this one? I should | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
have scored that, and I'm devastating for my team-mates that I | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
haven't put that away, because that is my job. That must difficult to | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
watch back. It is hard, but I will learn from it, I have to hit the | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
target next time, and you take a point, that was difficult game, we | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
knew they would be difficult to play against, they are on an unbeaten run | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
for a reason. We didn't capitalise on our possession, we were not good | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
enough in the final furlong. Liverpool have added resolve to | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
their offensive play. You felt van de Sanden epitomised that. She was | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
outstanding, I thought. She covered a great amount of ground, 10.37 | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
kilometres. Attacking and defensively she was the engine for | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Liverpool, and if any player needed to pick the game up and take it by | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
the scruff of the neck, she did that and was a catalyst for most | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
Liverpool players. She gave Jansen a torrid time yesterday, with and | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
without the ball. She is powerful, relentless in her running. We see | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
her getting in behind, she should have finished this, great save by | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
van Veenendaal I'll, you have to say. Maybe her positioning was found | :20:47. | :20:54. | |
wanting on a few occasions. Now we see the build-up to her goal, she | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
has no right to get a turn, no backlift, flies into the top corner. | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
That really is a fantastic technique. From this angle, she | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
squeezes it really into that top corner, but it is the power and the | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
pace and energy that is awesome. Moving on to Liverpool's second, a | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
superb free kick from Caroline Weir, but van Veenendaal will be | :21:21. | :21:25. | |
disappointed. She will. Credit to Caroline Weir first and foremost, it | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
is a brilliant strike, but when we do slow it down, break it down, the | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
goalkeeper should have done better. They extended the wall, made it | :21:35. | :21:38. | |
harder for van Veenendaal all to see, but she sets it out right. Yes, | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
she is her own biggest critic, she will watch this back a thousand | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
times, and she will know that the to steps to the left is the wrong | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
position, maybe her positioning could have been more to the right. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
If it beats the wall, there is nothing you can do about it, but I | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
like to think that maybe she could have been a little further across, | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
and she might have been able to affect it. But that is a world-class | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
free kick. What does that defeat mean fewer title hopes? Are they | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
gone? I think we have to be honest and say that they are over for the | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
season, we have to fight for Champions League. We want to stay in | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
the top two. It is in Chelsea and man city's hands, but we have a lot | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
of pride. We will reflect and hopefully go again. Next, Doncaster | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
hosted a Birmingham side who wanted to extend their unbeaten run in all | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
competitions. Emma Saunders reports. Birmingham have lost on their | :22:44. | :22:56. | |
travels since the opening fixture against Liverpool, yet in despite | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
their impressive run of form, only opponents Doncaster had scored less. | :23:02. | :23:10. | |
Lyndon shot agonisingly wide. Despite a half short on action, | :23:11. | :23:22. | |
there were chances on both sides. The bells currently sit bottom of | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
WSL one. At times, they seem to have been there own worst enemy, despite | :23:31. | :23:37. | |
the captain playing the perfect ball. The breakthrough came on the | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
hour mark, substitute Kirsty Linnett had torrid time of late, having | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
missed nine months through injury, she took less than a minute to score | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
her first golfer to years to put her side in front. Birmingham's | :23:56. | :23:59. | |
defensive record is impressive having registered clean sheets in | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
eight of their previous ten matches. Keita that is the former Sophie | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
Bradley, who did superbly to deny another goal. They stood firm to | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
scramble the ball to safety and secure three much-needed points in | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
the Hunter Champions League football. | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
Just 12 days after giving birth, Reading boss Kelly Chambers was back | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
in the technical area to oversee the arrival of Notts County Ladies, | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
early on and off all is going to something spectacular, but her | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
effort was tipped away by the outstretched Megan Walsh. Five | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
minutes before half-time, it was County who got her nose in front, | :24:45. | :24:53. | |
Dani Buet with her first goal of the campaign. Reading came out after the | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
interval rejuvenated, Follett clearly had faith in her right foot. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
There was still time for a late drama. In the 90th minute, Royals | :25:06. | :25:10. | |
defenders Rebecca Jane somehow denied Jess Clarke, and then Eileen | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
Whelan on the line, so the full-time whistle went with Reading still | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
looking for that first win in WSL one. | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Congratulations to Kelly Chambers, that is Reading's six Troy in nine. | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
Doncaster still bottom, they do have five games in hand on Sunderland, | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
though. A bit of a break now for most teams, but only a few more | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
sleeps until the Olympic football starts, sadly, no Team GB but can we | :25:45. | :25:46. | |
look beyond the usual suspects, do we think? It should be exciting for | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
us players in GP who should be a part of it. USA are definitely the | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
favourites. They are in form and flying, but as a national team, it | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
would strengthen us to be playing against the likes of these teams, | :26:06. | :26:08. | |
and it is a massive tournament that we miss out on. To clarify the | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
reasons why, Kelly Simmons, the Football Association's director of | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
women's football, said there is no possibility of securing a place for | :26:17. | :26:19. | |
a GB team because of the position from the other home nations. What | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
will Team GB be missing out on? Valuable tournament experience and | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
life changing experiences where you work with other athletes, you see | :26:29. | :26:31. | |
them prepare and how they live their lives. For me it was an eye-opener, | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
and I was another tournament better off, it was for years ago yesterday | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
I led the team out at Wembley in front of over 70,000 fans, and our | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
sport needs it in terms of the profiler gave us. We are missing | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
another opportunity to showcase our game, and I think that is really | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
sad. Hopefully this will be resolved at some point. Other sports resolve | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
it, and I don't see why football don't. He certainly do, they have | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
whichever home nation makes the qualification criteria represents GB | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
in their sport, so I just hope for the future, the experiences we both | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
have, that another group of international players can represent | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
GB in football at the Olympics. And it was only for years ago that they | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
played at Wembley. Ireland are looking down Wembley way and seeing | :27:25. | :27:26. | |
it packed full of people, it reminded me of a men's cup final | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
day, that excitement and buzz is something I have never had before, | :27:31. | :27:35. | |
and it is just unreal. You cannot buy memory is like that. I remember | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
leaving the team out and the crowd was incredible, it was the best | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
night of my career. You will of course be able to stay up-to-date on | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
all the Olympic football by heading to the BBC Sport website. Bristol | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
city were in WSL one during the last Olympus, and despite regular -- | :27:52. | :27:57. | |
relegation, they remain on course to bounce back to the top flight of the | :27:58. | :28:05. | |
first time of asking. As the vixens recorded a first win on the road | :28:06. | :28:10. | |
since early May on Saturday night. That win put Willie Kirk's site | :28:11. | :28:13. | |
temporarily top of the WSL to table until Yeovil was much too- zero win | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
at Aston Villa moved back to the summit. That is about it from us. | :28:20. | :28:27. | |
There is a bit of a break until we return on Monday the 29th of August, | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
where we will have the best of the WSL one action from the bank holiday | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
weekend, including Chelsea's trip to Birmingham. That is at 11.15 on BBC | :28:36. | :28:44. | |
Two. So, the momentum is with Manchester City, still undefeated | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
and now four points clear at the top of WSL one thanks to a hat-trick | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
from super Stanway. Goodbye for now. We're enjoying | :28:50. | :29:00. | |
an awesome summer of sport, | :29:01. | :29:02. |
