    West Ham 0-1 Man City

    So close!

    It looks like it's a certain goal as Khadija Shaw runs in behind but her cross-goal shot hits the far post. Lauren Hemp hits it after the rebound but Mackenzie Arnold tips over her curling effort.

    West Ham still seem a little bit nervy when it comes to going forwards. They're often playing it backwards which I'm not sure is what you should be wanting to do when you're a goal behind.

    Drama! There are big shouts for a penalty from West Ham players and supporters as Asseyi is in the box.

    Alex Greenwood just falls on top of her but the ball is already away from her.

    The corner is a low one this time and Khadija Shaw comes close again. She does a few keepy-uppies with the ball before turning and unleashing a shot, but it's blocked and cleared by the Irons.

    Make that another corner. Lauren Hemp cuts the ball back from the by-line to Deyna Castellanos whose low shot is blocked behind.

    Kelly whips in the ball but it skims over the heads of the City players. Alex Greenwood should probably have got her head to that.

    Manchester City have their tenth corner of the game as Chloe Kelly's cross is turned behind by Risa Shimizu.

    West Ham 0-1 Man City

    Manchester City up to 2.49 expected goals, according to Opta, but they're not actually doing too much in the way of troubling Mackenzie Arnold.

    West Ham are deep - but that's not helping their chances of getting back into this one.

    Here we go then. We're into the final quarter of an hour of this game.

    West Ham are pushing for an equaliser now, will they find it?

    Lisa Evans launches her free-kick to the back post... where nobody is.

    Risa Shimizu was standing outside the box. I wonder if cutting it back to her, unmarked, would've been a better option?

    West Ham win a free-kick out wide after Leila Ouahabi handles the ball. She goes into the book.

    "Lauren, the ball is here, come on, get close" shouts Gareth Taylor from the sideline. It seems he wants City to focus on the right-hand side.

    It's impressive how well Manchester City are managing to maintain their patience despite only having a one-goal advantage. They're back to measured passing rather than frantically searching for another.

    That was a real gift for City. Abbey-Leigh Stringer passes straight to a City player and Khadija Shaw is tackled by Hawa Cissoko when she gets the ball in the box. Should Shaw have done better there?

    Honoka Hayashi tries to create something as she slices a ball through the middle of the City line. Emma Snerle attempts to run on to it but Ellie Roebuck sprints out to collect first.

    West Ham are remaining very deep and inviting attacks from City. I wonder if we'll see a bit more urgency from them as the game nears the end?

    It's been rather end-to-end since the break. City are breaking forwards through Lauren Hemp on the left, but West Ham look bright in the moments where they counter. Can the Irons find a way back into this one?

    Kennedy is back up now and City build again.

    They may have scored, but they haven't actually threatened West Ham as much as in the first half.
