  3. YELLOW CARDpublished at 79 mins

    Tottenham 0-0 Reading

    Reading goalkeeper gets a yellow card for timewasting as she delays taking a free kick. The home fans weren't happy and feel that's justified.

  4. CLOSE!published at 76 mins

    Brighton 0-1 Aston Villa

    Aston Villa haven't looked interested in adding to their opener but suddenly they fashion a chance to extend their lead and it's a good one.

    Sarah Mayling carves open the Brighton defence for Ramona Petzelberger who strikes it firmly. Fortunately for Megan Walsh in the Seagulls goal it whistles just over the top.

    Claudia Walker

    That's a great finish!

    Gilly Flaherty's cushioned header finds Claudia Walker in behind the Leicester defence and the striker clinically drills the ball past Kirstie Levell for her first West Ham goal.

    A two-goal cushion for the hosts and a long way back for Leicester now you'd have to say.

    Brighton 0-1 Aston Villa

    No social distancing there in the Villa penalty box. Must have been 15 players crammed in as the corner whistled over. Good job Hannah Hampton is in yellow otherwise the keeper would have been invisible.

    Unfortunately for Hope Powell's side, the corner landed on the top of the net and the danger passes.

    West Ham 1-0 Leicester

    Big chance for Dagny Brynjarsdottir to double West Ham's advantage as a Leicester clearance falls to her on the edge of the box.

    The Iceland international leans back as she strikes, though, and it sails over the bar.

    Tottenham 0-0 Reading

    We're into the last 20 minutes at the Hive and neither side really look like scoring. Spurs have had more chances, but they are lacking sharpness in the final third.

    Tameka Yallop

    Well, it has been coming and it's an effective link-up between two of West Ham's brightest players as Kate Longhurst sends a searching ball forward for debutant Tameka Yallop.

    The Australia international holds off the challenge and squeezes her shot in at Kirstie Levell's near post.

    A deserved lead for the hosts.

    Brighton 0-1 Aston Villa

    Rinsola Babajide is off and Lee Geum-Min is on.

    She scored in the win against West Ham on the opening day.

    Brighton could do with something similar today.

    Brighton 0-1 Aston Villa

    Brighton are trying to up the tempo after that opener and Aileen Whelan finds some space on the right.

    She sends it across but Meaghan Sargeant clears for a corner.

    It comes to nothing though and Villa win a defensive free kick.

    West Ham 0-0 Leicester

    Kate Longhurst is involved for the hosts again, steaming down the right flank before delivering a deep cross for Adriana Leon, whose volley is kept out by Kirstie Levell.

    Impressive opening 15 minutes from the Hammers.

    Deanne Rose runs down the left and cuts inside onto her right foot, but her shot is just over Rebecca Spencer's crossbar.

    Tottenham 0-0 Reading

    Kit Graham shoots from distance, but it takes a deflection and goes just wide of the far post. Spurs are growing into the game now.

    Tottenham 0-0 Reading

    Chioma Ubogagu looks lively down the right and Spurs are three on two on the break, but her cross is blocked and put behind for a corner.

    West Ham 0-0 Leicester

    The Hammers are starting to turn the screw now but Kate Longhurst can't convert Dagny Brynjarsdottir's cross from 10 yards as Foxes keeper Kirstie Levell flings herself across her line to gather the shot.

    Leicester are beginning to feel the pressure.

    Emily Gielnek

    It's the first goal scored against Hope Powell's Brighton side this season and it's a tasty one.

    Australian international Emily Gielnek beats the offside trap and skips away from the Seagulls defence.

    Megan Walsh is out to meet but Gielnek keeps her composure and dinks it over her into the far corner.

    First chance of the afternoon falls to West Ham debutant Tameka Yallop, but the Australian flicks her effort just wide after a long ball over the top catches the Leicester defence out.
