It is better defensively from West Ham. They are much more on the front foot and going to close players down. It's a better start to this second half from them.

Triple change for Chelsea.

On: Catarina Macario, Guro Reiten, Sandy Baltimore

Off: Oriane Jean-François, Alyssa Thompson, Aggie Beever-Jones

Not a bad slate of replacements.

West Ham are enjoying their first spell of control in this match, and they have done well to respond after going 3-0 down so early.

A corner is earned, but comes to nothing.

Hannah Hampton has had very little to do today but needed to be alert there.

Viv Asseyi arcs a free kick from distance which is dipping under the bar and requires Hampton to palm it away.

That was West Ham's first shot on target.

Nathalie Bjorn is penalised for another foul.

Given how comfortable this is, Chelsea will not want a silly sending off of their own.

This referee has not been afraid to hand yellow cards out. He does well to spot Nathalie Bjorn's pull on the shoulder there.

Half a chance for West Ham from a free kick drifted into the box.

Centre back Amber Tysiak flicks a header wide.

They got that set piece through a foul by Nathalie Bjorn, who is booked.

A reminder that Chelsea have Sam Kerr to bring off the bench, should they wish.

Chelsea have predictably started this half on the front foot.

Oriane Jean-Francois, making her first start of the season, pings an effort into the side netting.

We are back under way at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.

Just in case today wasn't depressing enough for the home fans, it is now raining in east London.

On West Ham's red card:

It's a moment of madness from Ines Belloumou.

She tries to make a challenge and then her arm comes out and she grabs Alyssa Thompson's ponytail. It's a clear foul and in the end ends up with a red card. It puts West Ham in a really difficult position now.

As we stand, West Ham are bottom of the WSL with zero points from four games and 13 goals conceded.

It could be a very long season for the Hammers.

Leicester City

Leicester manager Rick Passmoor, speaking to BBC Radio Leicester: "I think we're disappointed and frustrated. If we had have delivered the gameplan in certain moments, we would have been more proactive and engaged to prevent what we see as two soft goals.

"In terms of the processes, our principles, our culture, you can see that by abundance. The crowd will be disappointed by the result. But in terms of our commitment and how we want to play, I think there were times and passages of play in the game that people will want to come down and watch the team play.

"What we have to do is consolidate our learning, learn from our mistakes. There's lots of things that went well"

On what went wrong: "I think we have to look at ourselves as a group of staff. We set the players up, we do the game plan, so we've got to help them. There's moments in the game that Tottenham caused us problems with movement in the top line and the middle of the park.

"We've also got to look at ourselves and how we can get the message to the players earlier so they can be prepared for differences of the opposition. I think we were just a fraction of a second off it in moments."

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner on his squad size: "Until the next window there is nothing I can do about it. We have to invest in the window, I’ve said that and I’ll be very clear on it.

"The club and team need to support these players who have incredible talent.

"There were reasons in the summer that it didn’t work, it wasn’t for the lack of trying, let me be clear on that. The market shift changed massively. we have to invest in the window to support [these players], but up until then, the reality is that we have to find solutions, and that’s my job to try and do that."

On the game: "I think first half we were electric , I think we blew Liverpool away. Second half I felt we dropped our intensity a bit, we were probably a bit too comfortable. I jut reminded the players in the huddle at the end of the game that actually our standards are to keep that level.

"At half-time we spoke only of positive things, how we needed to continue. It could have been one of those games where we don’t score when on top, but Toone’s goal just before half-time probably hurt them a bit.

"If you want to win games of football and win them comfortably then it should have been four today.

"I am really proud of how we keep the opponent to limited shots against, we defended really well. Once you get to a certain level it’s all about little percentages. We have to maintain our level if we want to win that game comfortably."

Liverpool

Liverpool manager Gareth Taylor, speaking to BBC Radio Merseyside: "We were very flat in the first half. I thought we didn't start the game well, we didn't end the half well. A real upshot in the second half of energy and a bit more quality, a lot of chances which if we'd have taken then I think it looks a little different.

"The disappointing part for me was really that energy in the first half, [it was] very flat. You've got to be there in the duels, we were getting beaten on one-twos on the sides and effectively handed the game to them in the first half. We fought well, did some things, but gave ourselves an uphill battle."

On what needs to be done to improve: "We have responsibility when we cross the white line to know we're going to be in a tough game and are going to have to do a lot to win the game. The minimum we should be getting in order to give ourselves the best chance to win the game would be the basics we're talking about."

On what to take from the game: "I don't think we'll start too many games like that. Sometimes you can concede in the first five minutes but I think the manner of the goals were really disappointing.

"In all fairness, United could probably have been away with the game in the first half but they weren't. I still felt the game was still there, we were probably the team a little in the ascendency. There's plenty to work on for sure."

Let's get some more reaction to the midday kick-offs...

I think Aggie Beever-Jones was leading that front line, she was connecting that midfield and she gets that free-kick and it's just quality how she gets it up and over the wall, gets it in the top corner. Kinga Szemik has no chance of making that save.

The worrying thing for West Ham is that Chelsea are only really in second gear. You can see they've still got levels to hit and they've got to come out and have a much better second half.

Here's how Chelsea got the scoreboard ticking today.

You won't see many better free kicks this season.

West Ham have done well since the red card. They've got themselves organised in defence.
