Yes, Ellen White. Lovely through ball, bit lucky on the touch, caught the back of her heel but ran on into her path and good finish.!

I'm on mute so don't know whether that has pissed off the BBC commentary. Bloody big hoofs upto the sub Salmon were looking a bit troublesome upto that second goal.
 
Nice long pass Beckie, great control and finish Wullaert. Walsh smoothly slipped it down the middle and White finished through the keeper's legs. Fortunate deflection perhaps but thought it was a nice turn and shot Bremer. Caroline afforded space infront of her drilled it into the bottom corner from outside the box. Assisted well by Jill, Pauline emphatically made it 0-5. Excellent to have Keira back, nice save Roebuck she's been standing in very well. Most good things at least before the late flurry seemed to involve my wotm Tessa, very happy to see lots of goals again against a fairly stodgy defence.

It's painfully slow! Compare this to the CFC players yesterday and it's obvious that the idea of equal pay for men and women footballers is just nonsense.

I don’t think equal pay is credible just now - partly because of the crazy money in the men’s game but we can’t have men earning 300k per week and women earning £300. The FA have to be in breach of the law operating a salary cap in women’s football and not in men’s - that has to be discriminatory? Surprised no one had challenged that.
 
Great to see us pick up the tempo in the last 20 minutes to ensure an emphatic win. The pace of play had been pedestrian up to that point as many have said.

We were ordinary when defending set pieces and better teams might have got a goal or 2.
 
Good result today, puts us further ahead of arsenal on GD who look to have struggled to beat bottom of the table liverpool, though chelsea may narrow the gap, I expected better from birmingham at home.

There won't be a wage cap next year, now united have a chance of buying a team, they won't want united's good players being poached abroad like ours have been.

As for pay equality, it will surely have to rely on ability "equality", and its a very long way from that at the moment, parity with the equivalent in men's football perhaps, but where would they come on that measure ?
 
BBC Sportsline opens with Rags result shocker.

Top two left until last.
 
Anyone else just getting a black screen in the FA Player?

The Arse v Bristol stream works without issue, but only a blank screen for our match.

Edit: the stream has finally loaded and, of course, I missed our goal.

Our ladies are all over Liverpool, and much the same as the men, could be up 2 or 3-nil already, if only for better finishing/decision-making.

As it stands at halftime: City 1-0 Liverpool
 
A glorious (some would say KDBesque) pass (couldn’t tell from whom exactly) puts Stanway clean through, but she sends her effort just over the upper right corner.

Another wasted opportunity to double City’s lead.
