Aston Villa 0-1 Man Utd Still 1-0 to the leaders at Banks’s Stadium, though Lauren James almost made it two with a blistering drive that hit the crossbar.
Nottingham Forest are one man and two goals down at the Madejski Stadium. Michael Morrison’s flicked header from a corner has made it 2-0 to Reading, who seem to be over their November blip. The first goal killed the game, pretty much: Ryan Yates was sent off for handball on the line, and Lucas Joao scored the resulting penalty.
Brass tacks
Manchester City will soar into the top half of the Premier League - perhaps as high as fourth - if they beat Fulham. City are in the Saturday 3pm slot for the second consecutive Saturday, which can’t have happened for a while.
Manchester United can go four points clear in the WSL, at least until tomorrow, with victory at Aston Villa. They lead 1-0 at half-time thanks to a cool finish from Leah Galton.
