"City were fortunate not to go behind as Villa dominated the first half, with Chasity Grant hitting the woodwork. Laura Blindkilde Brown felt she should have had a penalty for the visitors, having seemingly been felled by Lucy Parker."
"Man City and Villa have both kept six WSL clean sheets this season, with only Arsenal (seven) and Chelsea (eight) keeping more shutouts. The teams combined for 26 shots (10 for Villa, 16 for City) but only managed four each on target."
"Villa edged the expected goals battle, with 1.57 xG to City's 1.03. City star Khadija Shaw, meanwhile, was unusually profligate, as she only got one of her five attempts on target."
