Full time: Manchester United 1-2 Liverpool
It was tight but Liverpool just about deserved the victory in the end. United were a long way from their best, especially considering they took the lead so early on but Liverpool recovered after their slow start.
90+10 mins: Hinds takes a more sensible approach on the other flank and wins a corner from her attempted cross.
Hobinger might as well crawl across to take it. Van de Sanden lives out her dream of protecting the ball in the corner, winning her side a throw. Liverpool are doing some top-notch timewasting.
90+8 mins: Van de Sanden gets the ball in a dangerous position but instead of driving into the box, she decides to head for the corner flag. Not a clue why. United manage to dispossess her anyway, to the make act look even more futile.
90+6 mins: Williams does well to control a floated cross into the box but she is crowded out to stop her from shooting.
90+4 mins: Lundgaard is on for Holland. Liverpool need all the fresh legs they can get.
90+2 mins: Liverpool are running the ball into the corner. It might be a touch early for that …
90 mins: 12 minutes added on.
89 mins: United move the ball around quickly in an around the Liverpool box. It ends with Garcia laying it into the path of Zelem but her powerful drive is fisted clear by Micah.
87 mins: Bonner is able to walk off the pitch, which help of the medical staff. The finally show a replay of the incident and I can confirm that Williams gave her a smash in the mouth with her head.
Kiernan will replace her.
85 mins: Bonner is sat up covered in blood.
84 mins: The medical personnel are still working on Bonner. The stretcher is waiting to take her off the pitch and Liverpool are preparing a replacement.
83 mins: Beard calls all his players over to the touchline for a minute, allowing the medical staff to do their work in the goalmouth.
82 mins: Galton sends in a very dangerous cross into the box which is headed away by Bonner, who clashes heads with Williams and is left motionless on the ground. The medical staff are straight on.
80 mins: United are looking to go a bit more direct but Liverpool will not mind that.
78 mins: The free-kick from the right is headed back across the box to Geyse who nods wide when she should do better.
Micah sits down and asks for medical assistance. Everyone, as always, takes this moment to get a drink and some instructions. Unsurprisingly, Micah is fine.
The sun has come out in Leigh!
76 mins: Zelem lifts a corner deep to the back post which Williams heads off a Liverpool defender and the ball loops over.
Bonner is booked for a a dreadful challenge on Williams. It is above the ankle. That should be a red, in my opinion.
74 mins: Changes for United … Toone and Ladd off, Naalsund and Geyse on. The subs are announced to a smattering of boos who think Toone should stay on.
72 mins: Hobinger sends in another dangerous cross but it is a little behind Roman Haug who cannot put the pace and accuracy required on the ball.
Down the other end … Garcia gets into the box and pulls the ball back in the direction for Toone but the purple shirts are back in numbers and clear.
70 mins: Someone has set a flare off and no one knows what to do at Leigh. Whatever next?
Questions will be asked of Earps on the corner because she could have come for it. Life isn’t easy as a goalkeeper.
GOAL! Manchester United 1-2 Liverpool (Hinds, 68)
Van de Sanden is on and makes an immediate impact, winning a corner on the right. The resulting set piece is swung into the six-yard box by Hobinger where Hinds is left unmarked, allowing her to turn home. Poor defending from United.
66 mins: Garcia and Williams on for United, who have looked pretty blunt in the second half. Malard and Parris off.
64 mins: Roman Haug complains that Ladd pulled her hair in a challenge after being awarded a free-kick.
Kearns off, Hobinger on for Liverpool.
62 mins: Koivisto is penalised for a bodycheck on Galton but is only punished with a free-kick, rather than a second booking.
Chance for Liverpool! Hinds lifts a perfect pass to Holland in the box, she takes a touch but Turner gets across to block her shot from close range.
The corner causes chaos in the box. First the ball is cleared off the line after Earps fails to deal with the set piece and then again when a second shot comes in.
60 mins: Toone lifts a lovely pass over the top for Malard but the flag goes up immediately. I think if United are to get a winner here, it will involve Toone. She looks the most inventive player on the pitch currently.
58 mins: United are forced to pass the ball from side to side in an attempt to find a gap in the Liverpool defence but they cannot locate one.
56 mins: United play some nice stuff to get the ball out from the back. It eventually reaches Parris, who passes to Riviere but her poor touch allows Kearns to win possession.
53 mins: Galton finds Toone down the left, who darts for the byline. She takes a second to look up for Parris at the back post but the winger cannot get off the ground to head the ball and the cross flies over her.
51 mins: Riviere is on the end of a poor challenge from Holland and earns a free-kick. There have been a few lively challenges since the break …
49 mins: Hinds is the latest player to lay on the turf after her tackle on Parris. I think she has taken an arm to the face. The medic is taking a look at the Liverpool captain.
47 mins: Toone stays down for a few seconds after being tackled on the edge of the box. She gets up but is limping around slowly. After a bit of jogging, she seems to have run it off.
Second half
Here we go again!
One of the great men.
Half time: Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool
Very much a half of two halves. It looked like United could run away with it after Toone’s early opener but Liverpool grew into the game and earned a deserved equaliser.
