Yeah she doesn't catch it well there, Smith. She manages to get herself in that area on the right-hand side and on the left foot but just scuffs the shot right into the keeper.

It's tense inside the Etihad as we close in on the final 10 minutes.
Still so much to play for.

It just seems hard for Arsenal to break down this City defensive shape at the moment. They need to try and draw it out.

Olivia Smith uses Kim Little to find a way past Kerstin Casparij but her effort on goal is weak.

I reckon there's another goal in this one.

Cailtin Foord stands up Iman Beney and comes inside. She works the space for an effort but it's blocked before it can trouble Ayaka Yamashita.

City look a completely different side after that triple change Andree Jeglertz made. I bet he is absolutely delighted.

It's absolutely brilliant from Manchester City. Arsenal are trying to press them high. It's just always about Manchester city and how they move the ball from right to left.
Arsenal can't get near them, they are dragged across. Lovely to play it through the legs of Borbe.

What a turnaround this has been for City. They were 2-1 down 15 minutes ago!

Losing this game may well be the final straw that makes Arsenal sack Renee Slegers, but a loss today isn’t as bad as the two draws at home v Palace and United.

Lauren Hemp (72 mins)
The champions lead!
City are going through the gears and Yui Hasegawa finds herself with enough space to find Lauren Hemp at the far post.
She takes a touch and finishes through the legs of Anneke Borbe.

Into the final 20 minutes we go.
Been an enthralling match this.

Sam Coffey's race is run. She's replaced by Laura Blindkilde Brown.

I was half joking at half-time when I said about having another 3-2...

It's an outstanding bit of defending from Leah Williamson. She gets that vital toe to it, that puts it past the goalkeeper and Bunny Shaw. Superb defending.

Changes for Arsenal as Georgia Stanway and Lisa Baum make way for Stina Blackstenius and Olivia Smith.

Iman Beney flies down the right wing and puts a stunner of a cross in for Bunny Shaw. You think she's nailed on to score but Leah Williamson gets an unbelievable deft touch on it.

That's got to be her first touch! What a strike that is, absolutely brilliant. The curl on it, the goalkeeper has got no chance. It's a brilliant curling effort into that far corner.

It was one of those strikes where you knew it was going in as soon as she hit it.

What an impact! We got a great view of the ball leaving Kerstin Casparij's boot and she was already half-celebrating before it flew in as you could see there was no way Anneke Borbe was getting to it. A wonderful strike from City's vice-captain.
Aston Villa held to home draw by Crystal Palace
Aston Villa's winless run in the Women's Super League extended to five matches after being held by Crystal Palace at Villa Park.
Former Everton boss Brian Sorensen took charge for the first time in the league following Natalia Arroyo's sacking earlier this week after the club's poor start.
Villa took the lead after 55 minutes when Chasity Grant broke down the right and played the ball across for Noelle Maritz to guide home her first goal of the season.
Abbie Larkin, though, levelled in the 74th minute for Palace, who picked up a sixth point in this campaign.
Republic of Ireland forward Larkin, who had caused Villa problems throughout and a penalty appeal waved away, drove at the heart of the defence and powered the ball into the bottom left corner.
As both sides pushed for a winner, Georgia Mullett came close for Villa but failed to make the right connection and sent her effort over the bar.
Shannon O'Brien missed an even better chance for Palace, before her keeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin was forced into an excellent save by Miri Taylor in the final few minutes to preserve a point for the visitors.
Villa are third bottom in the table on three points, while Palace sit in eighth place.
Abbie Larkin scored her first goal in the Women's Super League since May against Leicester City.
