    And that's it, all over and what a comeback from Manchester City!

    Credit to Nick Cushing's side, they didn't sit back despite Abbie McManus' bizarre early own goal, and they fought back to come from behind and take home three points.

    A pity for Birmingham, who started very well, but it wasn't to be.

    Birmingham 2-3 Man City

    The clock is ticking down and as it stands, Birmingham City are going to drop their first points in the Women's Super League this season.

    The tempo has calmed down a tad, but can they break back and score a dramatic late equaliser? Hayley Ladd tries to find a leveller with a strike from the edge of the box that sails across the face of goal.

    Birmingham 2-3 Man City

    Manchester City have the ball in the net as Georgia Stanway's turn and shot in the box is palmed away by Ann-Katrin Berger into the path of Claire Emslie.

    She strikes home from close range, but she's a mile offside and the flag is raised.

    Birmingham 2-3 Man City

    Georgia Stanway is fouled just outside the box and Manchester City have a free-kick in a dangerous area.

    Caroline Weir stands over it and unleashes a free-kick that cannons off the right-hand post and away.

    The deflections have been fortunate, but you can't say this isn't deserved. Man City have looked like a completely different side in this second half.

    There's grit and determination on their faces. It's an excellent fightback but we should have expected little else from a side that contains so many vastly-experienced leaders.

    England skipper Steph Houghton has been roaring encouragement to her team-mates.

    The sign of champions potentially? Things have been against Manchester City but they've worked extremely hard to make sure they turn around.

    Nikita Parris

    Blimey, what a turnaround!

    Some tremendous work from Caroline Weir, who weaves and dribbles in the box past defender after defender as if the ball is glued to her foot, lays it off to Nikita Parris who makes no mitake from close range.

    Birmingham 2-1 Man City

    Big shouts from the home support for handball as goalkeeper Ellie Roebuck slides out of her area to try to clear the danger as Birmingham City rush towards goal.

    That was so close to being 3-1!

    Television replays show she got her chest to the ball and didn't actually handle it outside the box.

    Manchester City get one back! Is the comeback on?

    The visitors have a bit of fortune this time as Birmingham struggle to deal with a cross into the box and Caroline Weir's low shot is deflected up and over goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger.

    That's the first goal that Birmingham have conceded in the WSL this season.

    What a cracking header! Meaghan Sargeant appeared to hang in the air as she leapt to meet the cross.

    Eighteen months ago, the mere idea of this Man City side conceding a goal from a set-piece was almost laughable. They were rock solid at the back.

    Now they look vulnerable defensively for the third game in a row in all competitions. This is most unlike Nick Cushing's squad.

    What a great header - straight back where it came from with lots of power and lots of control.

    Big goal from the hosts and Man City have got a long way to come back from this point.
