    The biggest difference in this game has been City's press versus Chelsea's.

    City know what they're doing in different scenarios and have nailed it. Chelsea are dropping deeper and deeper because they can't get pressure on the ball.

    What Man City have done is dealt with Chelsea's threats whether that's Ellie Carpenter bombing down the right, Sandy Baltimore on the right.

    And when they've dealt with that, they've transitioned with Casparij on the forward runs, Hasegawa joining in.

    The quality in the final third - Miedema to Bunny Shaw and scoring.

    They've capitalised on Chelsea and done what Man City have been doing all season

    Title race is all over.

    If Arsenal win their game in hand, Chelsea could be out of the top 3. Who had money on that at the start of the season, I sure didn't and I'm a gooner. This is great for the WSL as a competitive league

    Ellen White
    Former England striker on BBC One

    Speaking before today's match, Ellen White said...

    Khadija Shaw is a phenomenal talent and gets better and better each season.

    Her presence and her ability to have connections with team-mates, like Vivianne Miedema, is brilliant. She pops up with winners and makes Manchester City deadly going forward.

    But you need everyone in that front line having those connections and impacting with goals and assists.

    Bunny Shaw looked pretty uncomfortable in the final minutes of the first half.

    City will be hoping she's fit enough to return for the second half.

    What a display by Man City in this first half.

    Chelsea have had their chances but they've been limited in open play to little spells where you felt they could start to hurt City.

    But City have hurt Chelsea - Miedema to Bunny Shaw often ends in the back of the net.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:19 GMT 1 February

    This has felt like a fairly even contest, but it's Manchester City who are in control at the break.

    Chelsea work another corner short, this time to Lauren James, and her cross squirms into the six yard box where it is hacked away by Bunny Shaw.

    Shaw certainly doesn't shy away from her defensive duties.

    Chelsea need one back before half-time. Baltimore the only threat is surrounded every time she is in possession. Chelsea tactics inquest there.

    Slight worry for Man City as Bunny Shaw goes down needing retreatment. She gets back to her feet and hobbles to the sideline.

    Chelsea goalkeeper Hannah Hampton tells the referee exactly what she thinks of the situation.

    Chelsea should be hugely grateful that this game isn't done and dusted.

    City launch a devastating counter-attack from a Chelsea corner.

    Shaw finds Hemp breaking away on the right with a genius reverse pass, and she passes on to Kerolin.

    The Brazilian's ball in behind the retreating Chelsea defence is tantalising, but Yui Hasegawa can't quite reach it despite flinging herself at it.

    Chelsea are hanging on.

    This is remarkable really but City are deserving of their 2-0 lead. Sonia Bompastor was furious with the officials but having watched the replays, I just think Khadija Shaw was too strong for Naomi Girma.

    It's a great run, a great through ball from Vivianne Miedema and City are really enjoying themselves. Chelsea need half-time!

    Man City players are enjoying themselves. The Etihad crowd are enjoying themselves. And Man City are playing like they're enjoying themselves.

    Samba-style football, the little back heel!

    City immediately look for a third to kill this game, but after a scramble in the box, Kerolin's audacious backheel trickles wide.

    That would have been sensational!

    Chelsea heads are in danger of going here. They are fuming.

    Pick-pocket stuff. Sloppy from Chelsea. Hasegawa to Miedema and who are you going to back in a fight to win that ball? Bunny Shaw!

    Bunny Shaw extends her lead at the top of the goal-scoring charts.

    Miedema, the weight of that ball. She's been an exceptional assister to Bunny Shaw this season.

    Who else but Khadija Shaw?

    Chelsea look to play out form the back but Yui Hasegawa nicks the ball away from Wieke Kaptein.

    Vivianne Miedema takes over and looks for Shaw, who outmuscles Naomi Girma to reach it. She then clips a shot past Hannah Hampton for her 14th WSL goal of the season.

    Chelsea have been on top in the last 15 minutes, but City are in control now!

    That's the best passage of play from Chelsea. Patient build-up, Sandy Baltimore with the pass to Erin Cuthbert.

    Yamashita watches it - do I need to make an athletic save? - and it's executed beautifully.
