Everton nearly manage to snatch one back as Yuka Momiki has an effort cleared off the line by Anna Patten.

Birmingham get the ball into the box and Lee Geum-min sticks out her boot, but her connection isn't clean enough and her volley doesn't cause much trouble.

Charlton have looked to create some opportunities but they're lacking quality.

A corner is swung in towards the back post but nobody can do anything with it.

It was too good to be true there for Beata Olsson. She was through on goal with only the keeper to beat, but the offside flag tells her that she made her run too early.

Kadidiatou Diani jabs at the ball, but it's a tight angle and she's unable to squeeze it past Khiara Keating.

It's end to end, this.

Holly McNamara cuts inside and sends an effort towards goal from range, but it's an easy stop for Akane Okuma.

Alice Bergstrom does so well to get past her marker in the right wing, but her cross has far too much power on it and London City's defenders will be more than happy to watch that ball fizz all the way through.

Will Aston Villa be able to capitalise on all of these good moves they're making?

Another cross is sent towards Amalie Vangsgaard but it's slightly over hit and she can't connect with it cleanly.

Oh! Lisa Naalsund launches an effort towards goal but it bounces off the crossbar and down and back out into safety.

Beata Olsson tries to put Liverpool back in front with an attempt from the edge of the box, but Elene Lete sees it early and gets down quickly to make the save.

Great pressing from Godfrey but it's all in Keating's hands, it's in her decision.

She's clearly looking for a central option, it's not there, she changes her mind but you don't have that much time as a keeper now. Forwards are pressing high - they're quick, aggressive.

She needs to make a better decision earlier.

It's relatively close to being one-way traffic at St Andrews at the moment.

Birmingham have been the more productive side, with their work on the winds in particular proving troublesome.

This one has quietened a little since the frantic opening few minutes but it still has some excitement.

Villa look very dangerous on the break.

You can see Lete with her left arm out, maybe a bit of mind games. Great strike, the keeper has got no chance.

Big moment for her and a big moment for Liverpool.

In the build-up to the penalty, Danielle van de Donk was shown a yellow card for scuffing up the spot.

Jodie Hutton gets in down the left-hand side and sends a nice low delivery towards the middle, but she can't find Cassandra Kohonen.

That's a clear pen. She's got her arm right round her neck pulling her down.

It's a WWE move, you can't do that!
