  2. Spurs on cusp of best WSL startpublished at 14:16 GMT 14 December 2025

    Man Utd v Tottenham (14:30 GMT)

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham are just one point behind Manchester United in the table and have enjoyed an excellent beginning of the season under manager Martin Ho.

    Victory against Aston Villa last weekend – a "sign of a good team, given their injuries," says Ho – means a win today would confirm their best start to a Women's Super League campaign after 11 games.

    "When you’re not at your best - and we knew we weren’t - you have to own that," Ho said in his pre-match news conference.

    "But winning when not at your best is a sign of a good team in the making. Our attitude and resilience were excellent, we faced adversity with injuries from the international break, but the players stepped up. I was delighted for them.”

    He added: "We’ve had a good start but we want to continue evolving as a club. I don’t think about stats for myself, it’s about the players and staff around me. If we get the points and it becomes something written in the books, brilliant"

  5. Hammers left ruing their mistakespublished at 14:13 GMT 14 December 2025

    FT: West Ham 2-2 Liverpool

    West Ham United

    West Ham United have lost 7 points from winning positions in the Women's Super League this season, only Liverpool (11) have lost more.

    Rehanne Skinner and her players will be furious with how they gifted teen-player Liverpool a way back into the game so close to the end.

    A priceless opportunity to put needed distance between themselves and the relegation battle and it was squandered.

    FT: Man City 6-1 Aston Villa

    Manchester City

    That result for Man City makes it ten WSL wins in a row, meaning the only side to have bested them this season is reigning champions Chelsea way back on the opening night of the campaign.

    While they took a while to get going against Villa today, they were devastating when things did start clicking. Shaw, Miedema, Kerolin, Fujino, Hemp, Hasegawa.... All superb.

    Can anyone stop them in this kind of form?

    Is Khadija Shaw the best striker in the world right now? Thumbs up for yes, thumbs down for no.

    If not, please do write in to let us know who you think is better than the City forward on current form.

    Get Involved - 'Shaw is a cheat code'published at 14:03 GMT 14 December 2025

    Khadija "Bunny" Shaw is pretty much the biggest cheat code in the WSL. She makes scoring goals look so easy and if you have her in your team, you are guaranteed at least 20 goals a season from her.

    Matthew, Coventry

    The rest and time together of no Champions League is paying off big time for City. The medical team doing a much better job of keeping Miedema fit is helping too.

  10. Liverpool leave it latepublished at 14:01 GMT 14 December 2025

    FT: West Ham 2-2 Liverpool

    Simply put that is a MASSIVE point for Liverpool.

    Had they lost they would have been cut five points adrift at the bottom of the table, with nine defeats and two draws from 11 games.

    While they remain winless at the halfway mark of the campaign, that point keeps them within two of today's opponents West Ham, who will absolutely be kicking themselves after gifting the Reds a late equaliser.

    For me, City, the players they have brought on, you've got Sydney Lohmann, who's just seamlessly come into that centre midfield and been an attacking threat. Beney has been really dangerous on the right-hand side. Kerolin's been involved.

    When you can bring players of that quality on from the bench when teams are already fatigued that's hard to deal with.

    Bunny Shaw's got her hands up. She's apologising to Grace Clinton but I think she moved her foot towards the ball and directed it to the back of the net.

    At the end of the day, it's another goal and it just shows how prolific this City team is and we've now seen them score six goals against a good Aston Villa side.

    They're showing they've got what it takes to go and win this league and take it from Chelsea possibly.

    I think the win sets Man City up in good stead. Six points clear of Chelsea and a dominant performance today.

    Jubilation inside the King Power Stadium!

    It's a poor spot-kick from Kosovare Asllani, who tries to roll it towards her right.

    Janian Leitzig dives the correct way and there's no pace behind her spot-kick.

    That might well have hit Shaw before it crossed the line there.

    Yep, it's gone down as a fourth for the City forward. What a performance.
