That's your lot, people. Thanks for joining us today, just two games but a big day at the bottom of the WSL table.

• Brighton 0-0 Liverpool
• Leicester City 1-2 Aston Villa

It leaves Leicester right up against it at the bottom of the table. Is the relegation play-off looming now? They'll certainly do well to avoid it.

We'll be back midweek for the Women's Champions League quarter-finals with the small matter of Arsenal against Chelsea on Tuesday before Manchester United host Bayern Munich on Wednesday.

You don't want to miss it, so see you then!

Leicester City

Leicester City manager Rick Passmoor to BBC Sport: "Really proud of the team, of the people on the bench and the supporters backing us all the way. We've just got to have that bit of luck because we're frustrated on the emotional side.

"The weight and the will is there, the togetherness is there, the culture is there. We just need to make sure technically we are making the right decisions at the right time. The players are learning all the time and we know we are in a fight at the bottom but I said you wouldn't want to be in any other changing room. Keep the fans behind us because the tide will turn."

On conceding a second goal: "Disappointed because we work on it all the time. The work we have done is first class, the engagement and the empowerment they are giving each other on the training field is exactly what you want in these moments.

"We are not going to go away, we're not turning our back in this challenge and this fight. We knew it was going to be a challenging situation this season but there's enough belief in this changing room to turn it around."

On whether they believe they can avoid the relegation play-off spot: "100%. I don't want to be with anybody else, I look around and they come in everyday to get better as a group of players. We have got some tough teams coming up but so have other teams around us.

"Our destiny is still in our own hands. Can we have that bit of luck? Can we get that penalty? What ever it might be to get the result and after that the psychological side of everybody is relieved and you can play a bit more with freedom."

After Manchester City took another step towards the title yesterday, there were only two WSL games today and it was all about the battle at the bottom.

Leicester would have come into today hoping that Brighton could do them a favour against Liverpool, while a win for them would not only have taken them out of the relegation play-off spot but also dragged Aston Villa into the scrap.

Instead, Villa's win means they no longer need to look nervously over their shoulders while a point for Liverpool edges them a little further away from danger. Not a good afternoon for the Foxes.

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Gareth Taylor, speaking to Sky Sports: "Those games are quite tight at the end, I think in the last three minutes Brighton had two corners, we had an opportunity at the other end, it was that kind of game today.

"A very physical game, both teams wanted to press so therefore longer balls are going to become more prevalent so it becomes a physically challenging game. I thought we were good at matching Brighton who are a good team. For us, it is important to take the point. If we can't win the game, we make sure we can't lose it.

"We spoke to the players about being really aggressive in the pressures when Brighton have the ball. We defended bravely, we used that energy but we needed to use less energy in possession if that makes sense.

"Just to be a little bit calmer in our possessions, final pass, final action, is going to always be a work on for us or any team. I think it's important that if we're not able to win the game, we're certainly not going to lose it."

On whether next week's Merseyside derby is now even more important: "No. No game is more important than the other. Every game is important. For me it is a little bit of a shame that the season is running out.

"I'm just getting used to having these types of options, for me on the sidelines we had good options today, some we used and some we don't. I think that's a good place to be. The players look fitter now, they look really strong.

"The team just looks much improved. No game is more important than the other, we played them a couple of weeks ago and we were very calm in the sense that that game is important as any other game."

Before we go, let's quickly get some reaction from Liverpool boss Gareth Taylor after his side's draw at Brighton...

Ellen White
Former England striker on BBC Two

Leicester are not out of it by any stretch of the imagination. They've still got three points to chase West Ham and Liverpool.

This isn't down and out at all. They need to galvanise and stay together because the results will come with the performance especially in that first half.

Anita Asante
Former Arsenal defender on BBC Two

For Leicester this was an opportunity missed. They've got some big games coming up - they've still got to face Brighton, London City Lionesses and then Arsenal and Chelsea, so this was the game they really needed to get points from and they weren't able to find it.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa manager Natalia Arroyo speaking about the win over Leicester: "It's a big one. We were not expecting a pretty clean, easy game. They play a lot of long balls. so we were expecting duels, 50-50s, fights, so you have to be on it.

"We weren't 100% in the first half. The best thing for me is with this type of context is how much fight we were able to give in the second half. We found an important goal straight after starting the second half and built the momentum.

"We increased the tempo and speed of play and I am really proud. Thee are the type of games we need to win, to grow, to show character. When we need to show this ambition I am really proud of the three points today."

On getting the best out of Kirsty Hanson this season: "We spoke a lot during the summer because she wants to be better, wants to help us be better as a club.

"She's not the loudest, she is maybe a little bit shy but how hard she works every day and how she fights. We spoke about how she could play a leader role and she is doing great.

"How good of a role models she is for the younger players and I am really happy with her. I am satisfied that she is having one of her best seasons so far."

Ellen White

Leicester were more compact in the first half but then when somebody comes on like Ebony Salmon who wants to run and dribble it kind of stretches you and forces you to go out of position at times and a little bit disjointed.

Leicester couldn't get back in their rhythm and back in their compact shape but credit to Salmon for making that huge impact.

Aston Villa striker Kirsty Hanson, speaking on BBC Two: "We knew it was going to be tough. We had the relegation battle last season so we knew they'd come out fighting."

On her goal: "I saw Ebs put her head up and somehow I had the legs to get onto [the pass]. There was no one in the box and I just hit it. Luck was on my side and it went it."

On her form this season: "It's just the belief of the team, the club and the staff have in me. I'm playing a more central role, I've been out on the wings before. I've played as a striker before and you just have more freedom."

On her missed chance in the first half: "I was really frustrated but in my head I was thinking 'it's coming Kirsty, it's coming'. You just have to keep going. I took my chance and I'm happy that hard work pays off.

"We want to finish off strong. We've had a tough run but last week has hopefully kicked us off to finish off strong."

Anita Asante
Former Arsenal defender on BBC Two

I think Aston Villa learnt a lot of lessons from that first half, they knew they needed to up their intensity, get players in the right position, start feeding balls into Hanson.

Obviously Salmon came on and was that impact player - was a bit of a spark to drive their attacks forward. Leicester didn't quite adapt to that.

Ellen White
Former England striker on BBC Two

Leicester did find a little bit more momentum in the last 10-15 minutes but couldn't quite get that cross in the box, that end product which we saw also in the first-half.

A real frustrating afternoon for Leicester but great for Villa.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa forward Ebony Salmon speaking to BBC Two: "We knew this wasn't going to be an easy game. We're both fighting for something in the league and the first half didn't go how we wanted to but we managed to turn it around in the second half and take home the three points."

On what Natalia Arroyo said to her before she came on as a substitute: "She just wanted me to go one-v-one and trust myself, create chances for the team and I think I was able to do that when I came on.

"I hope it's a happy team talk, we got the three points. Again, it wasn't an easy game but the aim of today was to get three points and it doesn't really matter how the game went for us. We managed to do that.

"We know the season hasn't gone the way we wanted to so far and I think with the games left we need to push on, pick up as many points as possible and climb the table as much as we can this season."

Anita Asante
Former Arsenal defender on BBC Two

In the first five or 10 minutes of the second half you cannot afford to switch off and allow a team like Villa to find momentum. Leicester allowed that to happen.

At this level, when you're in this dogfight, they have to be so much better at those basics.

Ellen White
Former England striker on BBC Two

It's absolutely gut-wrenching for Leicester and to concede in the manner that they did, right after the whistle in the second half and then a bit of a poor mistake for the second goal.

They were so positive, so direct, they got 1-0 up in the first half and then they just needed to shut up shop and be more clinical.

Lindsay Johnson
Former Everton defender on BBC Two

That one change in particular that Villa made at half-time, Ebony Salmon coming on and switching the game on it's head - she was a real catalyst and put Leicester under lots of pressure.

Aston Villa end their five-match winless run after a superb second-half turnaround and push Leicester closer to that relegation play-off.

The Foxes have lost six in a row in the WSL and remain three points from safety, albeit with a game in hand.

They've got five more games to try and drag themselves off the bottom of the table.

Good chance to break, three on three, for Aston Villa but Kirsty Hanson just takes the ball into the corner.

Winning is all that matters for the away side after such a long wait.

It opens up for Alisha Lehmann, just for a moment but her shot is blocked.

Aston Villa are less than two minutes away from a first WSL win since January.

We've played five of the nine added minutes.

Still time for Leicester. Will they manage to create one more chance?
