Nice idea. As Sarri makes that run forward she is just looking for that dinked cross into Lindstrom's path, but she just overcooks it slightly.

Veatriki Sarri puts her fresh legs to good use as she drives down the left but her ball into the box is caught by Khiara Keating.

Now Manchester City switch things up.

Kerolin is on for Laura Coombs.

Alex Greenwood and Rebecca McKenna after fine to continue after their earlier collision.

Birmingham imposed themselves with the high press, which was really impressive, because not many teams do this against Manchester City. Not many teams have made them feel uncomfortable.

They key thing is that when you win the ball in high areas you have the end product, and that is maybe where they've been lacking. They've been a proper threat.

The weight of pass and delivery from Beney is just perfect, what a striker dreams of.

Then Shaw's movement to get on the outside shoulder, her speed and power, and then the finish, she's just so clinical.
