    If you thought the teams might start more slowly than they'd finished the first half, you'd be wrong.

    We're back to the same intensity. And it's the same story of Arsenal being on top.

    Thumb's up for a West Ham win, thumb's down for an Arsenal win.

    Former England midfielder Karen Carney in the Sky Sports studio has been looking at the replays of the moment Dagny Brynjarsdottir went down in the Gunners penalty area. "It should be a penalty. West Ham will be furious with that."

    West Ham United have stopped the opposition from scoring a first-half goal in eight of their 13 games, only Manchester United (12) and Chelsea (10) have done this more often in the Women's Super League this season.

    Great shape and stubbornness from West Ham in the first half. They had chances early on and they have been able to adapt their style mid-way through the half and their concentration levels have been really high.

    Have you noticed that some players have been wearing green armbands at this weekend's matches?

    It's all part of Green Football Weekend, with some clubs, players and fans involved in tackling climate change by reducing their environmental impacts.

    BBC Sport takes a look at the initiative here.

    West Ham 0-0 Arsenal

    I think I need a lie down. The players will feel even worse.

    Paul Konchesky will be very pleased with his side's graft to keep Arsenal at bay. It's been a half filled with energy.

    No letting up in the opening 45 minutes. Will that continue after the break?

    Paul Konchesky has put an end to his touchline shouting and is now making notes to take into the dressing room.

    Think it will say something like "more of this please".

    It's been one-way traffic for a while now.

    West Ham haven't attempted a shot for over half an hour.

    Without Miedema I think the way Arsenal play has changed. There is less progressive passing at the moment and there is only so much you can do running forward into tight spaces before it runs out.

    Abbey-Leigh Stringer goes into the referee's book after dragging Foord down.

    A clumsy one and she will miss West Ham's next WSL game.

    Mackenzie Arnold in the right place? Of course she is.

    It's Caitlin Foord who's through on the edge of the six-yard box this time but the Australian is equal to her and dives on top of the ball.

    Mackenzie Arnold is called into action to save another Frida Maanum effort but this one is much more comfortable.

    The Arsenal forward just doesn't connect correctly with the ball and it spins into the keeper's arms.

    West Ham are undaunted by this Arsenal pressure. They've kept their shape well and Hawa Cissoko dives in to stop an attack once again, this time denying Caitlin Foord.

    That was in "seen them given" territory. Rafaelle clips Brynjarsdottir's foot as the West Ham forward tries to shield the ball.

    It would've been soft but it wouldn't have been surprising if the referee had pointed to the spot.

    Is this one ever going to calm down? It doesn't feel like it.

    Big shout for a penalty from the West Ham supporters as Dagny Brynjarsdottir goes down in the Arsenal box but the referee doesn't think that's the case.
