Bunny Shaw's opener came after just 23 seconds.

All of Tottenham's game plans out of the window almost immediately.

How do they recover from here?

Brighton just can't keep the ball.

Kim Little and Lia Walti are all over them in the middle of the pitch. The visitors are trying to play through Arsenal, but they're being put under so much pressure.

Will Dario Vidosic change things up?

An unbelievable start for Manchester City. Straight from kick-off, Khadija Shaw was putting Tottenham's backline under pressure.

It's an awful mistake from Clare Hunt and Shaw was never missing from there.

Fans were still taking their seats. Loads of them missed the goal as they came through the turnstiles near us.

Well, there's definitely not a lack of goals tonight.

Visitors Tottenham gets us under way at the Etihad.

It's nearly four!

Caitlin Foord goes forward, Sophie Baggaley has her positioning all wrong, but Foord's effort from range strikes the near post.

The hosts are all over Brighton.

Caitlin Foord is the one with the ball this time and looks poised to cause another moment of worry for the visitors, but her drilled pass is intercepted just before it reaches Beth Mead.

Arsenal have scored three goals in a Women's Super League game for the first time this season.

A fantastic start for the Gunners.

The players are making their way out onto the field at Etihad Stadium.

Will the league leaders continue their early march or can Tottenham spring a shock in East Manchester?

Man City are unbeaten in their three games played at Etihad Stadium, all against rivals Manchester United, wining two and drawing one - a 66.6% win rate.

Renee Slegers will be happy with how Arsenal have performed so far.

While both teams have the same number of final third entries, Brighton have only had one touch in Arsenal's box - the Gunners have had four in the Seagulls'.

The visitors aren't managing to work the ball into dangerous areas.

Manchester City

Man City boss Gareth Taylor speaking to Sky Sports: "We had some issues with players having niggles but on top of that we want to keep continuity in the team. After the international break it is always difficult but I felt the performance against Crystal Palace was good.

"At times over the next week I'm pretty certain the team will change, we have three games in a week, but we felt keeping things the same was the right thing to do tonight."

On having an eye on the coming games: "We try not to do that. We always try to look at the game that is in front of us and we will continue to do that.

"We have wider meetings we talk about those sorts of things but this is the position we wanted to be in, to be busy and have the tight schedule and turn around for games. The players are really thriving."

Brighton go up the other end, looking to find a way to quickly get back to an equal footing.

Madison Haley and Kiko Seike both try to carry the ball into the box, but Arsenal hold their line and shut down any space before the visitors can take advantage.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham boss Robert Vilahamn to Sky Sports: "We have only had a few days with the players but we understand that we have to be really sharp with how we defend but also to be brave and play our style.

"We played really good football against Manchester United and Chelsea as well, so it is about knowing when to do that and when to defend. It will be more of a transition game and we need to make sure we have control of that."

Kick off is fast approaching for the second game of the evening at Etihad Stadium.

Gareth Taylor and Robert Vilahamn have just spoken to Sky Sports so we will bring you their thoughts shortly.
