    Aston Villa 5-0 Leicester

    Villa Park rises as one as Kenza Dali makes her way off the pitch.

    Georgia Mullett is on for the final few minutes.

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    Reading forward Rachel Rowe tries to drive forward down the left, but she is muscled out of possession by Brighton's chasing defender Jorja Fox.

    Good battle.

    Carla Ward's team will stay fifth but return to within six points of fourth-placed Arsenal, who beat north London rivals Tottenham on Saturday.

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    Heading into the final 10 minutes and it has all got a bit tense. The pressure of a relegation scrap, eh.

    Another decent Leicester opportunity goes begging as Molly Pike cuts onto her left foot before dragging a tame effort wide of the target from the edge of the box.

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    A fifth and final goal would be huge.

    Second-bottom Brighton will leapfrog third-bottom Reading if they manage to sneak a winner, as well as moving four points clear of bottom club Leicester.

    But if Reading score another it would lighten the mood before next week's match against Leicester.

    Aston Villa 5-0 Leicester

    Leicester host Reading, who are currently four points and two places better off than the Foxes in the WSL, in their next match.

    A huge game at the foot of the table.

    Aston Villa 5-0 Leicester

    These Leicester players must be desperate to hear the final whistle.

    Alisha Lehmann and Rachel Daly are both on hat-tricks - Villa aren't taking their foot off the gas just yet!

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    Reading have done superbly to fight back to 2-2 since half-time, but they're lacking attacking ideas at the moment.

    A couple of hopeful punts forward are easily met by Brighton keeper Lydia Williams.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 15:35 BST 26 March 2023

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    Brighton hit the post! A lovely ball over the top catches out the Reading defence and Katie Robinson latches on to the ball before walkabout keeper Grace Moloney.

    The Brighton forward is forced out wide, making the angle difficult, and her effort cannons back off the outside of the left-hand post.

    She covers her face with her shirt, indicating how close she was to putting the visitors back into the lead.

    GOAL - Aston Villa 5-0 Leicesterpublished at 15:32 BST 26 March 2023

    Alisha Lehmann

    It gets worse for the Foxes.

    Maz Pacheco and Rachel Daly combine brilliantly after Leicester give away possession and Alisha Lehmann is perfectly placed to slot home Pacheco's low cross from point-blank range.

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    Twenty minutes to go in this humdinger of a relegation scrap.

    No idea who is going to win this - if anyone.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 15:32 BST 26 March 2023

    Aston Villa 4-0 Leicester

    Willie Kirk makes four changes.

    Sam Tierney, CJ Bott, Ashleigh Plumptre and Josie Green make way for Remy Siemson, Georgia Eaton-Collins, Jemma Purfield and Molly Pike.

  14. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 15:29 BST 26 March 2023

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    Oh. This is quite a surprising substitution from Brighton.

    Greek striker Veatriki Sarri scored both goals to put the visitors 2-0 ahead - and should have got a third seconds before Reading equalised - is being taken off.

    On comes teenage midfielder Libby Bance.

    Perhaps Seagulls boss Amy Merrick wants a bit more control in the midfield.

    Aston Villa 4-0 Leicester

    Leicester have had nine shots to Villa's eight - and almost as much possession as their hosts.

    And yet they find themselves four goals down and with a worse goal difference than fellow strugglers Brighton, who sit one place above the Foxes in the WSL.

  16. Postpublished at 15:27 BST 26 March 2023

    Aston Villa 4-0 Leicester

    Carrie Jones drives towards goal but her shot from the corner of the area is deflected out for a throw-in.

    Sam Tierney was in plenty of space to Jones's right - did she choose the wrong option there?

    Reading 2-2 Brighton

    A brief break in play as Brighton forward Danielle Carter - who has suffered some serious injuries in her career - needs treatment.

    Thankfully this one doesn't appear to be too much of a problem and she's back on against her former club.

    Who's betting on this one to finish 2-2? Nope, not us either.

    What a season Rachel Daly is having.

    The finish for Villa's fourth goal had all the hallmarks of a striker high on confidence as she waited for Alisha Lehmann's cross to sit up perfectly before burying her finish.

    Game over now - the only question is the margin of victory.

    Janina Leitzig eventually gets to her feet, to warm applause from both sets of fans inside Villa Park.
