    I thought that was the moment for Alessia Russo! It sat down really nicely for her, it was a great bit of work from Frida Maanum.

    She did really well to turn the defender and set her team-mate up on a plate.

    I could probably talk about Kim Little all day.

    She is a great player. Her role has changed slightly recently, she is more of a six now. She is able to break up play a little bit more in that area, sitting slightly deeper. She also has an incredible eye for goal and certainly a very good eye for a pass.

    Arsenal basically have a metronome in midfield with her and Mariona Caldentey on the pitch.

    Almost a 16-minute hat-trick. Alessia Russo has a shooting chance and it is on target, but Lize Kop gets down quickly to her right to make a decent save and keep it at 2-0.

    I tell you what, that is some finish from Alessia Russo!

    The angle was tight. She did ever so well to get around the goalkeeper. I thought she might've taken it a little too wide but it was absolutely top-class.

    Tottenham are playing this much more expansive style of football, but once their press is broken they are getting in all sorts of trouble.

    Alessia Russo's first goal came after four minutes, 33 seconds and her second was timed at six minutes, 27 seconds.

    That is one minute, 54 seconds between the goals.

    Two goals in two minutes for Arsenal, both for Alessia Russo.

    Olivia Smith makes it with a perfectly-weighted through ball and Russo dances around goalkeeper Lize Kop and fires the finish past the covering defender Toko Koga.

    Alessia Russo wins the corner and then scores from that corner.

    Katie McCabe's delivery with the set-piece from the right is superb and Russo gets free of her marker to meet the inswinging corner with a powerful diving header.

    Perfect start for the hosts.

    It is going to take a lot for Tottenham to break Arsenal's winning run.

    Tottenham have had a good season themselves though. They have sort of slowed down a little bit in recent weeks, but this is a north London derby. It is an exciting fixture and probably one both teams looked for first at the start of the season.

    Both teams will be bang up for it here. You have to say Arsenal are in flying form but Tottenham will want to cause an upset.

    Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm looking forward to this very much. It's a special game for us and for the fans. There's a lot of fans coming today and the sun is out, so it's going to be a special moment at the Emirates. We are ready to go.

    "We can only focus on ourselves [when it comes to the title race]. We have to keep on doing what we're doing, being in the moment, and doing all those small things that lead to performances. That's what we are focusing on. Of course, today is a big occasion because it is the north London derby. We want to get the three points."

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham head coach Martin Ho speaking to Sky Sports: "It is a wonderful occasion for us, for Arsenal and for women's football. When you have so many people in attendance for one of these games, it shows the growth of the game. It's a credit to both teams to be able to play in front of so many fans.

    "We're going to have to show much of what we showed in that second half against Manchester City. We need to show control when we have the ball. We need to play the game not the occasion because it will be loud, noisy and hostile. We have to be robust defensively as well, making sure we are hard to break down and play against.

    "Maika [Hamano] and Toko [Koga] are important for how we want to start the game and how we want to play. They are what we need at the start of the game, but things change throughout and the team that starts never finishes. Our other players will be ready to contribute."

    FT: Manchester United 0-3 Manchester City

    Manchester City's win means they are closing in on their first WSL title since 2016.

    Five points from their final three matches will do it. Arsenal are the only team that can get more points than them. Chelsea could match City's points total if they win all their matches and City lose all of theirs, although City's goal difference is currently 23 better than Chelsea's.

    If Arsenal lose today, then City will be champions if they win away at Brighton on Saturday, 25 April.

    Manchester United

    Manchester United boss Marc Skinner speaking to the BBC: "I think it was just physically a slow start, because that is where we're at. We are a team who are giving absolutely everything. It was the same when we played City here last year, we had the energy and they didn't. It is an energy game. The quick turnaround from the Champions League, it hurts us, but we knew that.

    "We have seen the fantastic youth we have to bring in and we have high hopes for their futures, then you see the difference in who City bring in, it's day and night, so I want to say that I am proud of those two young players coming in. Layla [Drury] was incredible, and then Jess [Anderson] to play at Old Trafford is incredible for them.

    "It is tough at the minute because we are what we are and there is not much you can do. At Old Trafford you can't sit in and wait."

    On if the squad size is impacting performance: "For sure, but I've got to accept that. The smaller the squad size the tiniest ability [you have] to change it around. What we have to do is try to find a way. We have a great opportunity next to try to turn around the Bayern tie. I told them in the huddle that we are hurting but we have to accept that and try to put it into going to play Bayern away and trying to turn that around. It is what it is and we have to move forward with it."

    Vivianne Miedema's double helped Manchester City edge closer to the Women's Super League title with a comfortable derby win over neighbours United.

    Andree Jeglertz's side need just two more victories to confirm their first league title in a decade and their fans left Old Trafford in a party mood. Netherlands international Miedema went off to a standing ovation in the second half with her side 3-0 up after she had scored twice in as many first-half minutes.

    It was another impressive display by the champions-elect as they capitalised on a ruthless start with Miedema's headers. City were in complete control when Kerstin Casparij dealt another blow to United, following up at the back post to score their third goal within 49 minutes.

    It was the second time this week United had suffered defeat at Old Trafford, having lost 3-2 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday. But this was even worse as City toyed with United, showing them up in their own backyard, and it was barely a contest.

    Marc Skinner's side face a battle to remain in the top three - securing European football next season - and could drop to fourth on Sunday. They currently sit second, 11 points behind City and only three points above fourth-placed Arsenal. The Gunners and rivals Chelsea play later this weekend.

  20. Liverpool beat Everton for first away WSL win this seasonpublished at 17:03 GMT 28 March

    Ten-player Liverpool held on for their first Women's Super League win on the road this season with a hard-fought victory over local rivals Everton at Goodison Park.

    Three first-half goals had put Liverpool well on their way to a comfortable victory, but a second-half fightback from Everton left the Reds clinging on to the three points. Gareth Taylor's side took a deserved early lead after Inma Gabarro gave away a penalty when she handled the ball in the box and Ceri Holland calmly slotted down the middle from the spot.

    The visitors doubled their lead on 20 minutes as persistent pressure paid off and Martina Fernandez could only head Alejandra Bernabe's cross into the back of her own net. That goal sparked Everton into life and they had opportunities of their own before Holland tore through the middle of the park then curled a sweet strike into the top corner to give Liverpool a three-goal cushion at half-time.

    But Everton were much improved in the second half and received a stroke of luck when Aurora Galli's free-kick took a heavy deflection off the Liverpool wall, leaving goalkeeper Jennifer Falk stranded as it dropped into the back of the net.

    That kick-started a lively final 30 minutes where Grace Fisk was shown a second yellow card for rashly tripping Zara Kramzar off the ball after the Everton midfielder had barged into her. Scott Phelan's side proceeded to pepper the Liverpool goal as Maz Pacheco went close with an audacious volley, then Kramzar clattered off the bar before setting up a tense finale when she slotted past Falk in the 91st minute.

    But Liverpool clung on for their first away win in what has been a difficult season and the result distances them further from the drop with eight points now separating them from Leicester in the relegation place.
