West Ham secure their first win of the season in emphatic fashion over newly promoted Leicester at Chigwell Construction Stadium.

Summer signing Tameka Yallop opened the scoring after 26 minutes with her first Irons goal before Claudia Walker followed the Australian's lead in opening her own account for the club.

An own goal by Ashleigh Plumptre gave West Ham a three-goal cushion before the break and Yallop's second-half header hit the crossbar and came back off Kirstie Levell to complete a comprehensive win for the hosts.

West Ham move up to seventh in the table with Leicester 10th and without a point from three games.

Tameka Yallop comes off to a standing ovation. Cracking debut for the Australian. Melisa Filis is her replacement.

Yui Hasegawa's afternoon is also over. The Japanese midfielder is replaced by Brooke Cairns.

Leicester are inches away from ruining West Ham's clean sheet as a neat turn-and-shot from former Hammer Esmee De Graaf whistles just wide of the post.

That was a lovely piece of play that perhaps deserved a better outcome.

Chance for Claudia Walker to grab her second but Ashleigh Plumptre is alive to the danger and charges down the shot.

West Ham corner. It finds Zaneta Wyne at the near post but the American is unable to control the ball and Leicester win the goal kick.

Changes for both sides as Zaneta Wyne replaces Abbey-Leigh Stringer for West Ham, while Leicester's Esmee De Graaf is introduced with Natasha Flint making way.

Tameka Yallop and Claudia Walker will probably take the headlines, but Hawa Cissoko has been rock-solid in the West Ham defence.

The French centre-back has won pretty much every battle out there. Supremely impressive.

Change for Leicester as Sophie Barker is replaced by Georgia Brougham.

Double substitution for the hosts as Lois Joel and Katerina Svitkova come on for Adriana Leon and Kate Longhurst.

Adriana Leon finds space on the left and cuts inside to fashion a shooting chance, but her right-footed effort is straight down Kirstie Levell's throat.

West Ham are moving the ball with real purpose and swagger now.

Another excellent save by Kirstie Levell to deny Dagny Brynjarsdottir after Yui Hasegawa's lovely through ball to the Icelandic attacker.

It's been a tough afternoon for Leicester but Levell has been hugely impressive between the posts.

The hosts get us back up and running.

Aston Villa up to second.

Not bad for a side who stayed up by one point last season - great work by Carla Ward's team.

They're next in action live on BBC Two for a top-of-the-table match with Arsenal (Sunday, 3 October, 12:30 BST).

The full-time whistle blows and it's another late winner for Rehanne Skinner's side.

Spurs extend their 100% start and go top of the WSL with three wins from three.

So close to a bizarre late equaliser.

Hannah Hampton smashes a clearance against Brighton sub Natalie Haigh and the looping rebound drops just wide.

Five minutes of injury time signalled as Brighton pump some deep crosses into the box.

Nothing landing for the Seagulls though so far today.

Meanwhile, Natalie Haigh takes the place of Chloe Arthur to try and stiffen Villa up for the final stages.

Spurs fans are loving this as they sing "we are top of the league". If it stays like this, they will be the only WSL team to get three wins from three so far.

Arsenal can of course match that when they face Manchester City later.

That couldn't have gone much better for West Ham.

Tameka Yallop and Claudia Walker both opened their accounts for the club before Ashleigh Plumptre fired past her own keeper to leave the Hammers well in control at the break.

Neither goalkeeper has had to work hard this afternoon but Hannah Hampton gets some catching practice in for Aston Villa.

Brighton sub Katie Robinson latches onto a loose ball and strikes at goal but it's tame and straight into Hampton's bread basket.
