Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor says one of the first questions she is often asked in job interviews is whether she can lead a top club while also being a mother.

Bompastor, who has four children, led Chelsea to a domestic treble last term.

When asked about a recent survey that found 78% of women had faced discrimination while working in football, Bompastor said she was "not surprised".

"Guess what was almost the first question everyone is asking me when I want to become a head coach or a manager?" the 45-year-old said.

"So I'm going to tell you - 'do you think it's possible to be a mum of four kids and being a manager for a high club?' I think if you have a man in front of the same people, they will never ask that question."

She added, laughing: "It wasn't the case in Chelsea."

Manchester United goalscorer Ella Toone, speaking to Sky Sports: "I thought first half we played really well. I think we need to be a little bit more ruthless. When we have so much of the ball we have to create chances and finish them. Sometimes 2-0 is a difficult score line coming out at half-time and the next goal is really important. I think second half we could've been a lot better, a lot cleaner on the ball. I thought we forced a lot of things but that's the standards that we have, and at the end of the day we've got the three points, scored two goals, conceded none and we should be happy with that."

On Hinata Miyazawa's opener: "Unreal. She's an unbelievable player. I love playing with her. She's got so much quality, defensively she does a lot of work but on the ball as well she's unreal, so it was nice for her to get a goal today and she should've got another one."

There are three changes to the West Ham side who lost against Brighton last weekend.

Ffion Morgan and Ines Belloumou make their first starts for the club with Verena Hanshaw and Shekiera Martinez dropping to the bench.

Amber Tysiak replaces Anna Csiki in midfield in the other alteration.

West Ham XI: Szemik, Belloumou, Zadorsky, Nystrom, Denton, Gorry, Siren, Asseyi, Tysiak, Ueki, Morgan.

Subs: Walsh, Endo, Pavi, Csiki, Martinez, Brasero, Wandeler, Hanshaw, Piubel.

Chelsea also make three changes to the side who beat Leicester last weekend.

Alyssa Thompson makes her first start for the Blues since her deadline day move from Angel City with Catarina Macario dropping to the bench.

Oriane Jean-Francois and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd also come into the starting line-up as Ellie Carpenter and Sandy Baltimore drop to the bench.

Chelsea XI: Hampton, Bjorn, Bright, Buurman, Jean-Francois, Cuthbert, Walsh, Rytting Kaneryd, Kaptein, Thompson, Beever-Jones.

Subs: Peng, Macario, Baltimore, Hamano, Alber, Nusken, Kerr, Carpenter, Reiten.

We've got another game coming up at 14:30 BST, as West Ham host Chelsea.

Let's see how the teams line up for that one.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham goalscorer Olivia Holdt: "It was a great game. Our momentum went a bit up and down but in the end we got three points and that's what we came for.

On her goal: "It was a cheeky chip, it was a great ball and I came down to the goalkeeper and my first thought was to pass it and when I looked up she was right in front of my face and it was the first thought that came to my mind."

On how Tottenham will do this season: "It's a good question. Right now it's about focusing on our performance and the points will come after that. Right now it's nice to be getting the points earlier in the season than last season."

I think that Man Utd came out flying. The energy of the team, the work-rate of each other, backing each other as teammates was unbelievable to see. The changes they made, they still looked competitive with changes.

Unfortunately, Liverpool were not at their best. I think Gareth Taylor has a big job on his hands. He's got a lot to do and at the end of the day you need some points on that board before the pressure starts.

What a game. There were great tributes to Matt Beard throughout this game. Unfortunately, his team didn't win today but to only be 2-0 I think is disappointing to Man Utd but fair play to Liverpool, they defended well.

A win less comfortable than the score line suggests, but one which takes Man City second for now.

Another big loss for London City against a WSL heavyweight.

Leicester did everything they could in the second half but still couldn't find a way to fight back.

Tottenham have now won three of their four Women's Super League games, while Leicester have won just one of theirs.

Into the final seconds at Joie Stadium.

Lionesses have now conceded 14 goals in their first four WSL matches.

Amanda Nilden is okay so play restarts.

Tottenham's Amanda Nilden is down with a blow to the head and play is stopped.

Just the one minute of added time remaining but we'll have more stuck on at the end of this.

A narrow but well-earned win for Brighton.

Everton were very toothless in attack.

Manchester United go top of the Women's Super League (albeit potentially temporarily, as Chelsea play at 14:30 BST) with another dominant victory.

Bouncing back in good fashion after their stalemate with Arsenal last weekend.

They were in total control throughout against Liverpool.

Brighton take off striker Michelle Agyemang for defender Maelys Mpome in the final seconds.

Everton have a free kick they will surely pump long.

Noemi Mouchon latches onto a long ball from Sam Tierney but she's closed down before she can get a shot away.

Leicester are doing everything they can but don't look like scoring.
