    Jill Roord

    Yes, honestly. SEVEN-one.

    Jill Roord has a hat-trick for the second game out of two so far this season as she gathers Vivianne Miedema's neat pass and finds the bottom corner from just inside the box.

    Arsenal are passing the ball around this West Ham defence as if they aren't there and they're scoring from pretty much every attack now.

    Vivianne Miedema

    No controversy about this one. It's a rocket of a finish. Vivianne Miedema has her second of this game and her fourth of the season and it's a superb finish in to the roof of the net.

    Unstoppable. Jill Roord has her fifth of the season as she diverts Katie McCabe's cross home.

    However, replays show Roord was offside.

    We do not have VAR in the Women's Super League, which West Ham will feel aggrieved about right now.

    This home crowd - organised as part a government pilot - are not happy with the officials at the moment.

    They're venting they're frustration at every stoppage, as they just desperately want to see their side get back in to the game.

  10. HALF-TIMEpublished at 45+4 mins

    West Ham 1-4 Arsenal

    Arsenal have scored 10 goals already this season, one-and-a-half games in.

    There's the half-time whistle.

    Adriana Leon goes in to the referee's book now. Everything's going the Gunners' way at the moment.

  12. Postpublished at 45+1 mins

    West Ham 1-4 Arsenal

    As we enter three minutes of added time, the hosts need to get in to the dressing room and regroup. They've lost their key defensive leader in Gilly Flaherty and they need to somehow try and stay in this game and stop it becoming a total thrashing.

    A thumping finish. Arsenal are running riot. West Ham don't clear the ball from their own backline and it comes out to Beth Mead, to the right of goal, and she ruthlessly picks out the far corner with a very well-struck effort.

    Superb. Pass, move, pass, move, pass, move: Goal.

    Beth Mead, Jill Roord and Kim Little combine sublimely to tee up the Scotland star to tuck home from inside the area.

    For 10-player West Ham, it's a long way back from here...

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 17:59 British Summer Time 12 September 2020

    West Ham 1-2 Arsenal

    Now Vivianne Miedema hits the post from a few yards out, from a tight angle on the left, but it's a lucky escape for the hosts.

    It's been quite a busy few minutes at the Chigwell Construction Stadium.

    Irons, Irons, Irons chants the home crowd, with about 600 Irons fans at this pilot events for the possible return of supporters.

    Things are going from bad to worse for West Ham now, as their captain Gilly Flaherty is sent off for a second yellow.

    I think that second one was for dissent, complaining about something after the second Arsenal goal. Flaherty thought there was an offside in the build-up. We'll check the replay when we can.

    But this time Mackenzie Arnold is beaten. It's slick and simple from Arsenal, as they carve open the West Ham defence with ease and Beth Mead plays an unselfish square ball to Vivianne Miedema, who has space and time to confidently tuck the ball in to the roof of the net from close range.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 33 mins

    West Ham 1-1 Arsenal

    And now Mackenzie Arnold gets the better of Vivianne Miedema, one-on-one. You'd have put your house on Miedema to score from there, but she hesitated and thought about squaring it. Arnold made the block.

  19. GOOD DOUBLE SAVE!published at 31 mins

    West Ham 1-1 Arsenal

    The Hammers' Australia goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold does really well to deny Beth Mead and Jordan Nobbs' rebound in quick succession.

    Samantha Miller

    I'm not quite sure this three at the back formation is working for Arsenal.

    They're giving West Ham space out wide in attack.
