Arsenal have avoided defeat in their last 31 matches when scoring the opening goal in the WSL.

They've also had all six of the shots on target during this half, having had all four in the first half.

Chelsea are having a go, though: Erin Cuthbert wins a corner after seeing her shot deflected behind from the edge of the penalty area, and Magda Eriksson and Lauren James then also send shots awry. They're upping their urgency.

Reading have now conceded 17 first-half goals in 11 games, more than any other team in the Women's Super League this season.

Everton have avoided defeat in their last five matches when scoring the opening goal in the WSL, dating back to 27 March, 2022 against Manchester United (lost 1-3).

Arsenal had all four of the shots on target in the first half - and they've sent in all six so far in the second.

Caitlin Foord races forward this time, cutting inside from the left of centre and bouncing in a shot that Zecira Musovic paws to safety.

Niamh Charles goes some way to atoning for conceding that penalty here, clearing off the line after a cross from the right causes chaos at the back for Chelsea.

There's some debate over whether that spot kick was justified, with replays appearing to suggest it was outside the box. There can be little argument that Arsenal's lead is deserved, though.

Chelsea need to find different ways to break down this Arsenal defence. You can't do that easily and there is a reason why they have the best defence in this league.

It's about finding a way forward if it's not on for Sam Kerr over the top.

Sanne Troelsgaard is looking Reading's main threat and she tries a snap shot with a bouncing ball from 30 yards out. It would've needed to be special, but she pulls it well wide of the post.

Captain Kim Little. First game back - leader, calm and composed. We talked about needing to be clinical and you won't see a cooler penalty than that.

She just slots it home into the right-hand side. Musovic went the wrong way.

Niamh Charles brings down Caitlin Foord inside the penalty area and Emily Heaslip points at the spot!

How pivotal could this moment prove?

Arsenal should be ahead!

Steph Catley nears the byline of the penalty area on the left and swings an inviting cross into the centre of the penalty area.

Lena Hurtig is unmarked at close range but can only nod straight at Zecira Musovic, who had correctly guessed where the attempt was going to go and plunges to gather with much more comfort than the goalkeeper should have been afforded.

Everton's England international Jess Park, on loan from Manchester City is so close to opening the scoring. She twists inside the penalty area to create some space and angles an effort at goal, but it flies just past Jacqueline Burns' right-hand post.

Laura Wienroither has just been penalised for a foul throw.

Of all the no-nos for a professional footballer, that's right up there.

Chelsea boss Emma Hayes strides to the edge of her technical area to offer some guidance. It's been a quiet start to the second half.

Everton's Hanna Bennison is needing some medical attention after taking a blow to the face and the hosts are currently down to 10.

Sanne Troelsgaard has the first effort of the match for Reading, shooting right footed from 20 yards out but the effort is lacking power and easily dealt with by home goalkeeper Emily Ramsey.

Arsenal need to be more clinical in the box because they are creating a lot of opportunities and it's about testing Zecira Musovic.

As Chelsea are growing into this game, we might see a shift in possession. It is vital that when those chances do come, Arsenal can punish this Chelsea side.

Sam Kerr charges onto a ball through the centre from Erin Cuthbert - clearly the pass Chelsea believe they will prosper from.

The lethal striker combines with Guro Reiten on the edge of the penalty area, but they find themselves crowded out by a clutch of alert markers.

Laura Wienroither chases Kerr off to the left of the box, eventually sending her down in a fair challenge. The Australia hotshot makes no complaint.

Reading get to the edge of the Everton penalty area as Sanne Troelsgaard plays it into the feet of Lauren Wade, but she takes a heavy touch and that enables the hosts to clear their lines.

We're underway again! Arsenal launch the second-half action, attacking from left to right.

Magda Eriksson stops a cross from the right and goes down in a little pain, but she's back on her feet a moment later.
