Chelsea vs Manchester City LIVE: Women’s League Cup final latest score and goal updates

37 mins: Chelsea are defending as if it’s the final five minutes. It’s backs against the wall from Sonia Bompastor’s side, with Baltimore saving Bright after her slip when Shaw shot and then Erin Cuthbert rescuing Bjorn when Miedema dribbled past her.

At the other end, Ramirez knew the importance of her chance and immediately pulled her shirt over her head after finding the side-netting.

36 mins: Chelsea have scored but it’s been their impressive defending that has kept them ahead.

City are the more aggressive side but Chelsea’s back four are so in sync that they’re covering each other superbly.

That’s been the difference between the teams so far as City have created enough chances to shoot.

33 mins: Opportunity for Man City after Shaw is brought down outside the box.

The free kick is floated into the box by Fowler but Hampton comes out to punch the ball away.

They’re controlling play for the most part but are missing that clinical edge in the final third.

As if on cue, Mayra Ramirez makes a run in behind as the ball is sent long. She collects it and drives into the box before before forced wide by Ayaka Yamashita.

The forward takes the ball around the goalkeeper and should score but she laces her efforts into the side netting!

24 mins: It’s a wonderfully open game, made possible by both teams looking to press high up the pitch and committing numbers forward. Chelsea lead but Manchester City have arguably been the better side. They’re the team who have been able to build sustained pressure.

Chelsea are very dangerous when given space to operate in.

They swept the ball across the pitch and get it to Lauren James who dances into the box.

From a decent angle she hits one but there’s no way past the goalkeeper.

21 mins: There’s more of an urgency from Man City now.

One-touch passing to work the ball quickly through midfield and find Shaw just outside the box.

She spins, shoots and wins another corner.

This one is played short and snet back to Aoba Fujino. She checks to the left inside the box and fizzes a shot at goal only for Hampton to deny her!

18 mins: Leila Ouahabi whips a corner into the penalty area but Chelsea work it clear.

Man City recycle the ball quickly and send it to the edge of the box.

Her low curling effort looks to be sneaking in but Hannah Hampton leaps across and tips the ball wide of the post.

15 mins: Man City started the game on the front foot but that gaol has hampered their confidence.

Mary Fowler tries to wrestle back some momentum and offloads the ball to Bunny Shaw.

She weaves past three defenders then shoots only for Millie Bright to deflect the effort.
