You've got to question Man City's defending. Why is it so easy for them to get a cross in your box in the first place? Nobody is goal side of their players.

Maika Hamano is just free to tap it away.

What did we say about Hamano earlier on?

"Quietly goes about her business and pops up with the odd goal."

Well she's made Chelsea's lead doubly sure with that cool finish.

Gracie Prior plays a loose ball into midfield and suddenly Chelsea have four players running at the City defence.

Thankfully Ayaka Yamashita is alive to it and comes out to smother the danger.

Man City have a lot more bodies higher up and that helps them when they win the ball back. In the first half, Chelsea were able to bring it into space easily.

A standing ovation from some parts of the stadium as goalscorer and Euro 2025 winner Aggie Beever-Jones heads off.

She's delivered again at Stamford Bridge.

That will be the England forward's her last act of the game as she's replaced by USA forward Catarina Macario.

Aggie Beever-Jones attempts to double her and Chelsea's tallies for the evening with a curling effort but it's high and wide of the target.

New City midfielder Sydney Lohmann receives a yellow card for a cynical foul on Maika Hamano.

Not the sort of welcome card she would have wished for on her debut.

It was brilliant technique, but I think if Lauren Hemp had released it a second earlier, Yui Hasegawa would've been able to step straight onto it like Aggie Beever-Jones did with her goal.

Fascinating to see Yui Hasegawa playing much higher for Manchester City in their midfield. She's been on the end of some good chances.

Ah so close to the equaliser!

City work a smart move from back to front in seven or so passes, which ends in Yui Hasegawa losing her marker at the near post and attempting a cheeky backheeled finish.

Unfortunately for the visitors, it rolls centimetres wide of the far stick. Encouraging signs though.

I'm surprised Man City haven't made any changes but maybe Andree Jeglertz has a game plan and he wants to stick with that for 15 minutes before making changes.

Talking of City skipper Greenwood, she swings a corner onto the head of Bunny Shaw who nods at goal but it drops wide of the target.

She wants another corner but referee Emily Heaslip is unmoved.

While England eventually got the better of Sweden in their Euro 2025 quarter-final in the summer, JRK had a field day on the right wing for them.

Not a sight England's Alex Greenwood will want to see on the touchline later.

Really good effort there. It's a beautifully lofted cross in and Yui Hasegawa doesn't even have to stop her stride.

She's unfortunate that it doesn't go in.

A bouncing ball causes havoc in the Chelsea box and just as they think they've got it clear Yui Hasegawa pops up to hit a vicious volley at goal for City.

It's straight at Hannah Hampton though and she gets a good double handed parry behind it.

That's the spirit Jon!

City winger Lauren Hemp gets the ball back rolling for the second half.

The teams are back out for the second half. More goals please.
