    Brighton 0-2 West Ham

    Julia Zigiotti Olme is face down after a push in the back and it wasn't looking good for the Brighton midfielder, but she is back on her feet after a bit of medical attention.

    Guro Reiten's cross loops over everyone and Man City clear.

    Backs against the wall for the home side and they are keeping Chelsea out, so far.

    Is it time to start interviewing referees about these decisions? Managers get reprimanded for questioning them so referees should have to explain themselves.

    Yui Hasegawa has had some game in midfield.

    She is doing so well to keep surveying the state of the game in every action, constantly looking around her to anticipate the danger and keep things ticking over for City.

    Lauren Hemp shouts at the referee Emily Heaslip and is duly booked for her protestations.

    That has gone down really well with the home fans, as you can imagine.

    Brighton 0-2 West Ham

    A hefty challenge from Charlize Rule sends Viviane Asseyi flying down in the area.

    There are a few pleas for a West Ham penalty but the Brighton midfielder got the ball fair and square.

    Khiara Keating has had a very solid game in goal.

    She races out and clears for Man City, getting to the ball ahead of Sam Kerr.

    Man City 1-0 Chelsea

    Chelsea have had 65.8% possession over the opening 15 minutes of the second half.

    They still haven't managed to breach the Man City defence though.

    Brighton 0-2 West Ham

    That was a big chance for Brighton. It's a lovely ball from Charlize Rule, but Elisabeth takes her eyes off the ball and misses it completely, allowing it to trickle through to Mackenzie Arnold.

    Lauren Hemp doesn't seem to be moving properly at the moment. She is just holding her right arm down by her side, not swinging it as she runs like her left.

    Not a bad replacement in Jess Park ready and waiting on the bench should Gareth Taylor need to replace Hemp.

    There is still time for Brighton. We've got 10 minutes of additional time at Broadfield Stadium.

    Just under 30 minutes to go in this match.

    Can Man City hold on?

    Brighton 0-2 West Ham

    Another yellow card. Izzy Atkinson goes in the book.

    Brighton have a free-kick in a dangerous area. Can they make it count? No. Veatriki Sarri's shot floats over the crossbar.

    Oh, and we have another yellow card. Risa Shimizu takes too long over a throw in.

    Lauren Hemp is OK to continue, much to the delight of the home fans.

    That's another decision from referee Emily Heaslip which does not go down well AT ALL in Manchester.

    Lauren Hemp is receiving medical treatment on the pitch as that was a heavy fall.
