And just like that, Arsenal should be two up.

Jordan Nobbs plays in Beth Mead whose shot is kept out by Mackenzie Arnold at point-blank range.

So close.

A nice period for West Ham who have dominated possession and territory last five.

Don't let their league position fool you, the Hammers are a strong side on their day.

I'd say they were unfortunate not to have taken points off Manchester United at Old Trafford when I last watched them live.

Kate Longhurst has been their star player so far, dictating proceedings from midfield.

Birmingham City have scored the fewest number of goals in the WSL this season.

Tonight's match proves why. Their players just don't want to shoot!

The creativity is there, but once the ball is in the final third it's always one pass too many.

Just over 10 minutes to play. Villa are dropping deeper and deeper...

Instantly, Arsenal's Caitlin Foord goes through and passes the ball in between West Ham keeper Mackenzie Arnold's legs.

But the flag goes up right as the ball hits the net.

It's the right call too.

Back under way at Meadow Park.

Arsenal going three points clear of Manchester United in third as things stand.

Every throw in or free-kick for Villa is taking an age.

The time wasting has started early. You love it when it's for your side, hate it when it's against them.

Birmingham City boss Carla Ward has just been booked.

I'm guessing it was for her reaction after the referee gave a decision in Villa's favour.

This game is full of niggly fouls at the moment.

A change for Villa and goalscorer Freya Gregory comes off.

Former Blues player Marisa Ewers comes on.

PSG are a goal up against Manchester City in the men's Champions League by the way.

No point sharing a link to that live. This is where the proper football's at!

Even stuff at Damson Park since the restart.

No stoppage time, that's the break. Hopefully the weather improves.

Horrible weather in London. I know this because the camera operator has had to wipe the rain off their lens with a hanky.

While their screen was blurry, West Ham had their first chance of the game with a header that went narrowly wide.

It was a great opportunity, but I have no idea who it fell to!

It's more of a long ball game in Birmingham.

Blues' Claudia Walker has found a bit of success getting in behind down the right.

No major chances yet though.

Pass after pass after pass. Arsenal are flowing with confidence now.

I feel dizzy watching it off the telly. Imagine what it must be like having to defend against this stuff.

All Arsenal now as Miedema has another go, this time seeing a deflected effort fly behind for a corner.

West Ham can barely get the ball out of their half.

Meanwhile, a huge 45 minutes coming up.

Villa could got three points clear of the drop with a win. Blues would have a five-point buffer with a victory.

And just like that Arsenal flick a switch and nearly go in front.

A brilliant back-heel from Beth Mead sends Vivianne Miedema through, but the Netherlands striker can only find the side-netting.

You sense a goal is around the corner.

Back to the live footy and you really haven't missed much from Meadow Park.

Precise passing from Arsenal but no clear-cut chances.

England's record appearance holder Fara Williams has announced she will retire at the end of the season.

The Reading midfielder, 37, won 172 caps and played at four European Championships and three World Cups.

She represented Great Britain at the 2012 Olympics and played for Charlton, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool and Arsenal during a 20-year career.

In a statement, Reading described Williams as a "true legend and pioneer".

"I simply cannot speak highly enough of Fara. She has been such an instrumental part in our development and success as a club and we will be forever grateful," manager Kelly Chambers said.
