    Brighton are pushing higher and higher up the pitch, but Katie Robinson can't pick anyone out in the West Ham box.

    It just hasn't clicked for the Seagulls today.

    Emma Hayes would have told her players to continue focusing on what they need to do, ignore what Man City are doing and the state of the game at the moment.

    Implement their tactical tweaks and focus on their own job.

    Emma: Ref giving away yellows right, left and centre

    Byeck: The ref is giving out more cards than Clintons!

    Very poor refereeing to make that a sending off, if you’re having to book three players in the aftermath of your decision for dissent probably a sign you got it wrong and are losing control

    Brighton 0-2 West Ham

    Mackenzie Arnold is down and receiving some medical treatment.

    The West Ham goalkeeper has been immense today. She's just made two more saves to keep Brighton out.

    There's not long left now for Brighton to get anything out of this game. Just over five minutes of normal time remaining.

    Guro Reiten crosses, Sam Kerr heads it into the danger area but Khiara Keating reacts quickly and comes out to collect.

    Erin Cuthbert lets one fly from outside the box. Good effort but over the bar.

    A triple substitution for Rehanne Skinner as she looks to shore up the victory.

    Izzy Atkinson, Mel Filis and Princess Ademiluyi are on in place of Riko Ueki, Anouk Denton and Abbey-Leigh Stringer.

    Veatriki Sarri comes on for Brighton to replace Emma Kullberg.

    The City fans are now counting how many seconds are passing for each free-kick to be taken.

    Fair play.

    I wonder if the referee realises what a dangerous precedent she’s set? Every performance of hers, previously and in the future will now be scrutinised for inconsistency on time- wasting decisions.

    A huge sense of injustice has only made the City fans chant even louder.

    It is a shocking decision. It is never a red card.

    When Greenwood puts the ball down she looks for the best option and to go long would be a 50-50 in terms of retaining possession, so she stalls and tries to manage the situation.

    The common sense option would be a warning.

    And what you then see is that several yellow cards came after for City players out of pure frustration.

    It ruins the game. It hasn't even been one of those games with challenges that have been worth yellows.

    Riko Ueki should have done better there. She receives the ball on the edge of the box and has plenty of time to get a shot off, but she overhits it and it flies over the crossbar.

    Chloe Kelly is on the charge and looking to add to her tally for the afternoon but her shot is easily saved by Zecira Musovic.

    Man City also make a change at the break.

    Attacking player Mary Fowler is sacrificed for defender Kerstin Casparij.

    Chelsea make two changes at half-time.

    The big news is Sam Kerr is coming on. Jelena Cankovic also enters the field for the Blues.

    Mia Fishel and Sophie Ingle make way.
