Would have been the perfect hat-trick, right foot, left foot and header!

So unlucky!

What a lovely slide pass from Kenza Dali across the box, and nearly three shots and three goals for Rachel Daly.

So close to a third for Aston Villa as Rachel Daly smashes a shot against the crossbar!

Big let off for the visitors.

It would be interesting to know if Alessia Russo is feeling any pressure given her England number 9 competition Rachel Daly scored twice in that first half.

She would have expected to do better with that headed chance.

Some good build up play by Manchester United ends with Alessia Russo getting a shot off on goal but it goes over.

A good spell for the visitors at the moment.

Ooh, almost for Manchester United as Alessia Russo's flick on from a dangerous ball into the box is cleared with Ella Toone ready to pounce.

Mayumi Pacheco sends a dangerous ball to the back post, looking for Laura Blindkilde but she can't connect and Manchester United breathe a sigh of relief.

A nervous moment for Manchester United as Aston Villa win another corner but this time Lucy Staniforth's delivery is headed away.

Manchester United are looking a threat down the right and get another cross in from that area, this time via Nikita Parris, it takes a deflection but Hannah Hampton scoops up to prevent the corner.

Manchester United have started this half well and win a corner when Danielle Turner takes no chances with a cross. The delivery is good but Alessia Russo heads over.

Nikita Parris does well to push the ball past Mayumi Pacheco but her cross, sent in while off balance, goes high and behind the goal.

Oh it has flown away, so now we can get under way.

Big 45 minutes coming up for Manchester United.

There's a duck on the pitch. I repeat, a duck on the pitch.

I think it is something that Aston Villa would have identified before this game, set pieces.

Man Utd hadn't conceded from one all season until Daly's opening goal, and actually they nearly scored two or three from the same type of delivery.

Man Utd need to get over what they have done in this first half, as there has been plenty of good [despite conceding the two goals].

They have certainly created more chances than Villa, and they may be feeling some injustice at Hayley Ladd's goal being ruled out for a foul.

The league leaders are behind at the break.

Rachel Daly is fouled right by the corner flag and Aston Villa have what is pretty much a corner and a chance to get a third here.

The free kick goes through to Jordan Nobbs on the far side of the box but she hits a low effort just wide.
