    That’s the incisive quality West Ham need when they turn the ball over. Lisa Evans has been in the middle of all attacking play they’ve had.

    And another West Ham chance on the break.

    This time Leon plays in Evans, but the forward can only poke wide under pressure from keeper Ellie Roebuck and defender Lucy Bronze.

    The best opening of the second half.

    Oh so nearly! A classic counter from the Hammers as Dagný Brynjarsdóttir plays in Lisa Evans but her ball across goal for Adriana Leon is just too fine for the striker sliding in.

    Much, much better from the hosts.

    City sub. Chloe Kelly is replaced by Hayley Raso.

    A great 60-minute return for Kelly.

    An hour gone.

    Can West Ham cause a fightback?

    Hit the thumb if you agree.

    West Ham get the odd touch every time they clear away each City chance.

    A part from that there's very little to shout about for the hosts.

    West Ham are in survival mode now as City dance the ball between the wings, waiting for the right moment to pick out a cross.

    I can’t see Chloe Kelly completing the full game. She’s certainly not looking as energetic as she did in the first half, which is understandable for her first game back.

    Manchester City are turning the screw now.

    Chloe Kelly's cross with the outside of her boot just evades Lauren Hemp and Ellen White at the back post.

    It’s another superb finish and a lovely ball, but someone has to go and press Keira Walsh. If you give her that time to show her quality, she’ll be able to pick a pass or a cross out.

  12. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 51 mins

    A second Ellen White goal ruled out.

    City do find the mistake as White is unmarked in the area and nods home a Keira Walsh cross.

    But White made her run to her early, and the flag goes up straight away.

    Let off for the Hammers.

    It's hardly the lightening pace of the first half, but City will be happy with this.

    They're passing nicely and patiently waiting for the mistake.

    Like Willie Kirk said at the break, City have slowed the tempo down since the restart, playing the game at their own pace.

    No chances yet.

    West Ham have to be brave. They have to press hard on those counters and attacking transitions, and they have to be clinical.

    Man City obviously have a lot of firepower on the bench they can bring on.

    Industry secret, but most games you have a pretty strong feeling who's going to win, and can get your match report written early.

    Not this time! Sorry Emma, I've got no idea who wins this one.

    "Hammerhead" has just come over offering to write the match report. I was tempted...
