There was also a yellow card shown to Guro Bergsvand for a late challenge a little time ago.

We're up to four yellows in this game.

Manchester City have avoided defeat in their last three matches when scoring the opening goal in the Women's Super League dating back to April 2023 against Arsenal (L1-2).

They'll certainly be hoping that stays the same against Chelsea this afternoon.

Gareth Taylor is going to be really frustrated to come in at half-time down to 10.

But he has to motivate his players to come out calmly in the second half, not get on the back of the referee, and make the right decisions in what is going to be a big, big 45 minutes.

Potentially he could bring on Steph Houghton, she would bring leadership and composure at the back.

It's going to be tough for them, Chelsea's tails are up and they have the momentum.

It looks like the game was only going one way.

City started faster, they were in total control, got the lead through that great strike from Chloe Kelly.

We've seen with the red card momentum has shifted now, Emma Hayes had made a few tweaks to Chelsea and they started to get back into it.

City now have a lot to do in that dressing room, there is a lot of frustrated heads, we've seen lots of yellow cards too, so the players just need to cool down and re-find that composure.

Emma Hayes will have no doubt had changes in mind at half-time - whether that be personnel or tactics.

City have been completely dominant and by far the better team. Chelsea have been poor.

But that red card changes everything. Boos were directed at the referee when the whistle went for half-time and there were chants of "you're not fit to referee" from the home support.

Jill Roord joined a list of players in the book as she walked off as she was also shown a yellow card for dissent. It's just a big mess.

Gareth Taylor will need to calm his team down. They are still leading 1-0.

When you go a player down you have to get over it immediately, certainly quicker than I have done, I'm still stunned.

City just need to regroup, listen to the instructions from the sideline and get themselves through to half-time.

Alex Greenwood took 26 seconds to take the free-kick.

Too long as far as referee Emily Heaslip was concerned.

Riko Ueki comes close to adding another, just minutes after she doubled West Ham's lead.

She whacks the ball straight at Brighton keeper Sophie Baggaley, who palms it around the post and out for a corner.

The Hammers are cruising at the moment.

What a mess!

Referees are clamping down on time-wasting this season and that is proof of that.

It's a crazy decision though and it will have a huge impact on the game. Fans are absolutely livid in the stands.

There's been six yellow cards in this game, including Greenwood's first booking to add to her red.

It's not really been a feisty game.
