Brighton 1-2 Man City, Crystal Palace 0-4 Arsenal: WSL clockwatch – as it happened (2025)

That’s all from me! I’ll leave you with a reminder of today’s results…

• Manchester United 2-0 Everton

• Brighton 1-2 Manchester City

• Crystal Palace 0-4 Arsenal

• Leicester 1-1 Tottenham

• Liverpool 1-2 Aston Villa

Just a reminder that the international break starts next week with England due to face Belgium twice in the Nations League. The Lionesses host Belgium at Ashton Gate on Friday before travelling to Heverlee for the reverse fixture on Tuesday.

After that, the Women’s FA Cup semi-finals take place on the 12th and 13th April and the WSL returns the following weekend.

Next up today, in-form West Ham travel across London to face WSL leaders Chelsea. Kick-off is at 4:30pm.

• Brighton 1-2 Manchester City

• Crystal Palace 0-4 Arsenal

• Leicester 1-1 Tottenham

• Liverpool 1-2 Aston Villa

Brighton 1-2 Manchester City: It’s all over at the Broadfield Stadium. City take all three points.

Rule gets one back for Brighton in the closing moments! Can they go on and find an equaliser now?

Liverpool 1-2 Aston Villa: It’s a huge win for Aston Villa! They now move four points clear of the relegation zone. It’s the club’s first win since mid-December.

Miedema seals the win for City!

Kerolin makes a powerful run into the box before passing across goal. The ball bounces off the back of Casparij and falls to the feet of Miedema, who fires home from close range.

Leicester 1-1 Tottenham: It’s all over at the King Power Stadium and the Tottenham players look absolutely devastated to have dropped points once again.

What a strike from Mead!

The winger receives the ball from Little on the right before unleashing a fantastic strike into the top-left corner from at least 25 yards out!

Villa might’ve just won it!

Salmon does well to make her way into the box, skipping past three Liverpool players before putting the ball into the danger zone. Clark attempts to intercept but steers it into her own net!

That could turn out to be crucial for Aston Villa in the fight for WSL survival.

Arsenal have three!

Caldentey pokes the ball to Kelly on the left, who makes her way around Riley before squaring it across goal. Swaby steps across in an attempt to intercept but instead deflects the ball into her own net.

What a finish! Just three minutes after coming off the bench, Hanson receives a long ball from Kearns and makes her way into the box. Pressure from Laws forces her left and she is pushed into a tight angle but manages to get her shot on target, putting Villa level.

Spurs are level! Naz makes her way into the box and cuts inside from the left before sending a low cross in to Spence, who places the ball into the bottom-right corner with her first touch.

Höbinger converts a penalty to put the Reds in front!

Holland steals the ball from Maritz and Kearns in midfield and takes advantage of the high Villa line by making a direct run into the box. She looks to make her way around D’Angelo but the goalkeeper sticks out a leg and trips her up, resulting in a spot kick.

Höbinger steps up to take it, calmly slotting the ball into the bottom-left corner.

It’s a nightmare for Spurs as Rybrink deflects the ball into her own net!

Cain makes her way into the box from the right before unleashing a shot. It is parried by Kop but falls straight to Rybrink who runs the ball into her own goal. Very unfortunate for the defender.

Leicester 0-0 Tottenham: Opportunity for Leicester now as Chossenotte cuts into the box before shooting, but her effort runs inches wide of the post.

Leicester 0-0 Tottenham: Chance for Tottenham as Spence goes for goal just inside the box, but she fires her effort over the bar.

And finally, the teams are back out at the Broadfield Stadium.

Liverpool 0-0 Aston Villa: We’re now back up and running at St Helens Stadium.

We’re back underway at the King Power Stadium and Borough Sports Ground.

• Brighton 0-1 Manchester City

• Crystal Palace 0-2 Arsenal

• Leicester 0-0 Tottenham

• Liverpool 0-0 Aston Villa

The half-time whistles have started to blow across the grounds. Arsenal go into the break leading Crystal Palace, while Liverpool v Aston Villa and Leicester v Tottenham remain goalless.

Play is still continuing at the Broadfield Stadium, where Brighton host City.

Crystal Palace 0-2 Arsenal: Chance for Palace as a slip from Williamson sees the ball go straight to the feet of Stengel in the middle of the box, but the forward blasts her shot over the crossbar.

Still no goals at the King Power Stadium or St Helens Stadium as we approach half-time. Meanwhile, Arsenal and Manchester City both lead their respective games.

And just like that, we have a goal at the Broadfield Stadium!

Fowler receives the ball on the left before cutting inside and weaving her way through three Brighton defenders. She eventually releases it, passing across goal to Casparij in the middle who simply taps home from close range.

Just over 10 minutes left to play until half-time across all four games and we’ve only seen two goals so far – both of which were in the same fixture. It remains goalless in the other three games.

Russo makes it two for the visitors!

Caldentey steals the ball from Cato in the final third and flicks it on to Russo, who makes a run into the box before firing her shot into the bottom-left corner.

Leicester 0-0 Tottenham: Good chance for Tottenham as Thomas runs through on goal. She looks to place the ball into the bottom-right corner but forces a strong save from Leitzig.

Mead breaks the deadlock for Arsenal!

Maanum plays the ball through to Kelly on the left, who runs deep before sending a cross into the box. Mead then cuts inside and meets it with a thumping volley into the bottom-right corner. Great cross. Great strike. Great goal.

Brighton 0-0 Manchester City: Brighton are gifted a chance at goal as Kirby wins possession from Hasegawa in a dangerous area before flicking the ball short to Parris. The striker then goes for the shot from distance but misses the target.

Just a reminder of the fixtures in play as we speak…

• Brighton v Manchester City

• Crystal Palace v Arsenal

• Leicester v Tottenham

• Liverpool v Aston Villa

Thanks John! The 2pm games have just kicked off, no goals as of yet, however.

Talking of which, Emilia Hawkins takes over for those 2pm blogs.

The table, as it stands, with plenty of 2pm kick offs to come.

A 12th clean sheet for United, and the Champions League is in sight for United. Everton are improved but without the tools to do much danger.

90+4 min: United close out in possession. In full control, Everton just able to clear, unable to mount an attack.

90+3 min: Gago is ok to limp off. And come back on again.
