    City are still on top in Manchester but Chelsea have managed to slow things down a little bit and gain a bit more control.

    Lauren Hemp and Mary Fowler have been particularly threatening for City though.

    There goes the half-time whistle.

    I'd say Rehanne Skinner will be pretty delighted with that performance so far.

    Man City look like they smell blood here.

    If they can put their foot down on the gas and really make the most of their chances, they could establish a good lead here. They just need to be ruthless.

    Chloe Kelly takes the corner. It's flicked on in the box and then comes out to Yui Hasegawa whose shot goes straight to Zecira Musovic.

    Brighton 0-1 West Ham

    Brighton are pushing hard to find an equaliser, but the West Ham defence aren't making it easy.

    The visitors are lucky not to be a player down, though. Riko Ueki, despite being on a yellow card, bundles into Vicky Losada and then throws her arms up when the referee blows for a foul.

    It goes into a crowded penalty area and is hooked away by Laia Aleixandri.

    Man City have come flying out of the traps and left Chelsea behind.

    The free-kick is taken by Alex Greenwood but a very comfortable save for Zecira Musovic.

    Chloe Kelly and the home fans to our right enjoyed that one a lot!

    There were a few shouts of "shoot" and that's exactly what she did, thumping it past Zecira Musovic.

    Kelly ran straight over to the fans to celebrate and roared. City's record at home is so impressive and Chelsea haven't got going at all.

    I'd love to see the mph on this one from Chloe Kelly!

    You have to admire the movement from her, Mary Fowler and Lauren Hemp around the box.

    She collects a loose ball, takes a touch to get it out of her feet and she just smashes it into the back of the net.

    A slight deflection off the covering defender, but it is the pace of the strike that beats Musovic.

    GOAL - Man City 1-0 Chelseapublished at 12:39 British Summer Time 8 October 2023

    Chloe Kelly (7 mins)

    Pick that one out!

    Mary Fowler is trying to come inside to shoot, but the ball falls to Chloe Kelly who unleashes a strike from outside the box and there is no saving that.

    It takes a deflection off Jess Carter but it is just a sublime strike.

    Man City have made a great start.

    Oh, Hawa Cissoko will be breathing a sigh of relief.

    The West Ham defender puts a fair bit of power on the clearance, but it ricochets off the shoulder of Lee Guem-Min and towards the West Ham goal.

    Mackenzie Arnold comes to the rescue again.
