Can we have a moment to appreciate that leap from Bunny Shaw for her goal? Salmon-like.

West Ham's game plan goes out of the window now they are behind. They did their best to keep it tight and leave Arsenal with very few chances, but now they are having to push further up and the visitors are finding more attacking opportunities now.

Arsenal briefly think they have a third as Caitlin Foord is behind the defence and tucks home, but she's way offside.

Stina Blackstenius is just so clinical. You just cannot give her any time or space in that area.

Arsenal worked that ball really nicely, it was a lovely ball in Mariona Caldentey, a great back heel from Alessia Russo, and Blackstenius doesn't miss from there.

Russo and Blackstenius always work really well together.

Brighton come forward in search for that crucial second goal.

Marisa Olislagers rolls the ball back for Madison Hayley to strike from range but it's a wild effort.

Ends up closer to the corner flag than the net.

As good as Brighton have played, I think they need that second goal. City are just stepping it up now.

West Ham look to hit Arsenal early but a ball to the back post by Eva Nystrom is an easy catch for Daphne Van Domselaar. Perhaps the Hammers were seeing if they could catch her out again.

The work rate from Brighton tonight has been incredible.

To a player they are running their socks off in a bid to continue keeping City at bay.

Lauren Hemp was surrounded by about seven yellow shirts there as she ran into traffic and lost the ball.

It's a bit of a strange decision to take off Frida Maanum for Stina Blackstenius. I thought Maanum was doing really well, she was holding spaces and making runs that nobody else was.

But the introduction of Blackstenius does allow Alessia Russo to drop back into that number 10 position which I really like her in. Russo holds the ball up well with her back to goal and is also really good at making late runs into the box, so this change actually suits Arsenal well.

Well after a turgid first half display City are certainly showing more energy in front of goal early in this second half.

Bunny Shaw gets her head to the latest cross into the box but can only direct it wide.

Miedema has bagged 8 goals and 8 assists in her previous 12 appearances against Brighton.

It's not been her night so far though.

A change for Arsenal for the start of the second half as Stina Blackstenius replaces goalscorer Frida Maanum.

Vivianne Miedema has another chance as the ball falls to her feet in the box.

She shoots first time on her left but drags it wide of the bottom corner.

Imane Beney gets into a good crossing position on the top right corner of the box but she rolls it out for a Brighton goal kick.

Renee Slegers will be quite happy going into half-time, considering West Ham have become a bit like their bogey team. She will be a bit disappointed that they haven't been able to find the likes of Frida Maanum a bit more, who is free out there, especially against West Ham's two in midfield.

Rehanne Skinner will be very happy with the fact that it is 1-1. If you asked her before the game, she would have taken your hand off for this scoreline. I don't think she'll be too happy with the way her team are giving the ball away in attack though.
