That's a huge goal, isn't it? The fans are delighted. It comes from a corner and they keep it alive. A lovely bit of play. They win the first header and Baum is first to react, but it's all about Russo on the right-hand side keeping it alive.

A massive moment!
Alessia Russo picks up the loose ball from the corner and wins the battle with Lauren Hemp. Russo lifts a lovely cross into the box for Lotte Wubben-Moy to head back into the mixer and Ayaka Yamashita palms it off Lisa Baum's knee.
Think VAR would've given that one offside.

Mariona Caldentey's cross is met by the head of Jade Rose again.
Another Arsenal corner incoming.

Sam Coffey looks like she'll be OK to carry on here.
Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
Laura Blindkilde Brown is out warming up in case Sam Coffey can't continue.
Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
Sam Coffey isn't happy. She's limping while trying to play through the pain but she's dropped to the turf again.
She looks in a decent bit of pain here.

That was a big chance from Georgia Stanway. It's just wide.

Georgia Stanway lets fly from distance but she drags it wide of the near post.

I think it's the correct decision, it looks like Borbe has the ball in her hands and then Shaw knocks it out of her hands. Right decision from the referee.
Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
And now Arsenal go up the other end as Lauren Hemp switches off from her defensive duties to give Emily Fox the freedom to have a go.
Ayaka Yamashita has to pull off a fine save.
Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
The ball ends up in the back of the net after a collision between Anneke Borbe and Bunny Shaw but it's quickly ruled as a foul.
Shaw is up high but she's barged into the back of the keeper.

There's lots of conversations going on in the dugouts as both Andree Jeglertz and Renee Slegers go back and forth to their seats to discuss tactics with the analysts and assistant coaches. It's been an intriguing battle so far but perhaps not very electric.

Manchester City are putting pressure on Arsenal and their changing positions in those forward areas is really difficult for Arsenal to deal with.

There's just no space for City to exploit in this Arsenal backline. It's very, very intricate stuff.
Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
City are seeing plenty of the ball here and Carlotta Wamser flies up the pitch but Ona Batlle uses her pace to put in a great challenge.
Manchester City 0-0 Arsenal
Arsenal's press is so high but City play through it brilliantly to drag themselves up the pitch.

That was a bizarre passage of play because City overplayed it at the back and got really fortunate that it bounced off Sam Coffey and fell kindly for Beth Mead.
She managed to get it through to Khadija Shaw and then it was such a tame effort. It's been quite a slow 15 minutes or so and the crowd needs picking up.

The use of major stadiums for the WSL these last couple of seasons has really helped these big games. It feels much more important in a ground that suits the stakes.

For the second time already, Leah Williamson heads Bunny Shaw rather than the ball.

Yeah straight up ball but it's lovely play. Stings the palms.
