Lucia Garcia latches onto a big looping cross from midfield and sprints towards goal, she finds Hannah Blundell on the left-hand side who rushes the shot and it's easily gathered by Courtney Brosnan.

She'll be disappointed with that effort.

Peep peep! The whistle blows and the players go back down the tunnel after an exciting first half.

Lauren James' moment of quality makes all the difference and Chelsea take their lead into the break.

A triple change for Everton as they try to change things up.

Hanna Bennison, Lucy Hope and Clare Wheeler are coming on for Aurora Galli, Nicoline Sorensen and Megan Finnigan.

Erin Cuthbert finds herself going into the referee's book as she blocks Drew Spence. That's a clumsy one.

The sun is in the faces of the United players attacking Everton's goal. Millie Turner just held her hand up to her forehead while laying it off to Hannah Blundell as she was blinded for a moment. Jess Park took advantage of it a few moments ago when she intercepted a pass back from Katie Zelem. Mary Earps will hope they don't concede a corner!

United are trying everything here - passing quickly and trying to find those inroads.

But Everton's shape has held strong and they're doing well to keep the home side out.

Chelsea have had a few moments at the back which will give Emma Hayes pause for thought as we approach half-time.

Tottenham look at their best when they're taking advantage of the visitors' mishaps.

Bartrip is back up and we're back under way with Chelsea going forwards again. Neither team looks like they're up for slowing down.

United literally could not have come closer to scoring! Ella Toone off the post and Lucia Garcia inches away from Ona Batlle's fizzing cross.

A man in the stands has just shouted "come on, let's get behind them. UNITED." They are desperate for a goal here.

Oooooh!

A couple of big chances for Manchester United to take the lead early in this half. Leah Galton chops round the defender and lays off to Ella Toone whose shot nicks off the post.

It comes out to Hannah Blundell who fizzes the ball back into the area and Alessia Russo heads backwards to Ona Batlle who opts for the cross to Lucia Garcia at the far post but she can't quite get a touch on it.

Early warning signs for Everton.

Not too sure what's happened here. Molly Bartrip is down clutching her face after a Chelsea corner. She as sandwiched between Sophie Ingle and Guro Reiten and it looks like she's been caught by one of them.

Amy Turner is soldiering on through this one. She had that clash with Guro Reiten earlier and now she clatters into Lauren James as she stops another Chelsea attack.

The Spurs defender isn't holding back.

The game is much more level now than it was in the early exchanges. Spurs have settled into this one and are going forwards far more often, with Mana Iwabuchi and Evelina Summanen the main providers.

Could they level again before the break?

We're underway for the second period in Leigh.

Will United pick up from where they left off in the first half?

Ooh! That was close.

Tinja-Riika Korpela is called into action to deny another Chelsea chance.

Lauren James is through as a ball skims over the top of the defence but the Finnish keeper is at hand to dive on top of the ball.

Kadeisha Buchanan is booked for a challenge on Bethany England. The Spurs striker looks to have twisted her ankle but is up and running.

Rehanne Skinner will be anxiously hoping she hasn't suffered any real damage.

Wow. We spoke about how good James is with the ball at her feet it just sticks to her like glue.

So skilful, so powerful. What a goal.

United will want to get Ella Toone on the ball a bit more in the second half, she has showed some promising signs so far.

England is putting Chelsea keeper Zecira Musovic under so much pressure and the Swede doesn't look at all comfortable under it.

A good spell for Tottenham. They gain a throw after Musovic puts the ball out of play and they eventually get it into Ashleigh Neville in the box but they just can't get direct anything troubling at the Chelsea goal.
