Katie Zelem feeds Lucia Garcia with an excellent through ball but Gemma Evans is there to slide in and deny her.

Throw-in and Manchester United come forward again, but Parris' flashed delivery across goal comes to nothing.

It's been relentless for the past few minutes from Reading. Manchester United haven't been able to string a pass together.

In fact, history definitely doesn't bode well for West Ham in that regard.

West Ham have failed to win in their last 25 matches when conceding the opening goal in the Women's Super League dating back to 8th November 2020 against Birmingham City.

West Ham getting into this. They've gone forward on the wings a few times but need to do much, much better in the final third.

Will they recover a two-goal deficit? I'm not sure.

At the other end, Burns denies Garcia from Parris' cross after a swift counter attack.

End to end, all of a sudden. An excellent watch so far.

Earps is forced into a smart save as Reading come forward again.

From the resulting corner, Vanhaevermaet almost puts Reading in front.

West Ham have conceded five goals in the first 15 minutes of the first half in Women's Super League matches this season - the most of any team.

Everton have scored five goals in the first 15 minutes of the first half. Only Manchester United (6) have scored more during that period in the WSL.

Everton have continued their pressure, but their next set piece doesn't result in a goal. Lucy Hope heads a Nicoline Sorensen cross wide.

Oooooh!

Out of nothing, Justine Vanhaevermaet forces Earps to backtrack with a shot from distance.

A good effort, much closer than anyone thought it would be.

Manchester United head to the top of the table if they get the three points today. It's psychologically huge for the club, but Reading haven't brought anything to the table.

The only work Mary Earps had to do so far is scooping up by passing the ball back to her centre-backs. She has done nothing so far. It's one of those games where Man Utd know what a win means to the club.

Really nice move from the visitors as they play their way through the pitch, but Reading are closing down really well.

It was Katja Snoeijs who went down after that clash with Cissoko. Both are back up now, with Snoeijs holding her side.

We've got a break in play with Hawa Cissoko and an Everton player (who I can't see perfectly) down injured.

West Ham are all over the shop! They are giving it away in midfield and not tracking runs out wide. Another corner, another goal for Everton, who have started extremely well.

Reading's first corner and first real foray into the attacking third comes to nothing.

Mary Earps is looking for her 50th WSL clean sheet today.

It's been all Everton so far.

Karen Holmgaard, Nicoline Sorensen and Hanna Bennison are causing so many problems on the right-hand side.

It's looked dangerous every time they've managed to get a ball in from the by-line.

Lucía García has been a brilliant addition to this Manchester United side. Coming from the Spanish side of things, she is really good friends with Ona Batlle. They played together before for the national team. You can see them linking up so beautifully.

Everton are causing all kinds of problems down the right-hand side. Gabby George has had two huge chances, both created by overlaps on the right. Jess Park looks sharp and West Ham defender Hawa Cissoko needs support.

Ladd strikes again, this time straight at Burns.

Garcia is straight back into the action as she feeds Toone, but the ball runs into Ladd's path. It feels like a matter of time for Manchester United.
