    Chelsea have a corner and it's flicked into a dangerous area.

    Maris Thorisdottir is switched on, though, and she launches the ball clear at the first time of asking.

    Tatiana Pinto might have been lucky to get away without a booking there.

    She drags Melanie Leupolz to the ground in the middle of the pitch but escapes with just a talking-to.

    Melissa Phillips has just applauded an attempted flick by Tatiana Pinto that didn't come off and Poppy Pattinson had to stop a Chelsea counter-attack.

    Phillips was reassuring Pinto that was the right idea. We said she wanted her players to be brave and that means taking risks.

    Lauren James has her first sight of goal.

    She's marshalled inside by Maria Thorisdottir and gets a shot away, but it's well caught by Sophie Baggaley.

    Julia Zigiotti produces a wonderful piece of skill to backheel a pass and clear the ball from Brighton's third.

    The players further up the pitch can't do anything with it, though.

    Pauline Bremer was hit straight in the face by Nathalie Bjorn's pass and there were painful groans by the Brighton fans in front of us.

    She's quickly checked over by the medical staff and looks fine to carry on.

    Guro Reiten has the ball inside the Brighton area and she sends an excellent shot towards Sophie Baggaley's goal.

    She produces a good save to tip it onto the crossbar and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd can't do anything when the ball falls into her path.

    Brighton force an error on the edge of the Chelsea box as the ball falls to Vicky Losada.

    She plays it forward to Terland, but it's deflected towards Veatriki Sarri and she can't find a clean path towards goal.

    You can hear the confidence the Brighton fans have in high-flying Elisabeth Terland, who seems to score almost everything she touches at the moment.

    Jess Carter is marking her closely at the moment but Terland's presence alone is a threat.

    Now it's time for a Brighton chance.

    Veatriki Sarri goes down the left and passes the ball behind to Poppy Pattinson behind her.

    She crosses into the box but can't find the head of Elisabeth Terland.

    Erin Cuthbert tries to drill a cross into the Brighton box, but it's headed away by Maria Thorisdottir.

    Fran Kirby makes a run behind the Brighton defence, but Brighton goalkeeper Sophie Baggaley is quick off her line to collect the ball.

    A good opening five minutes for Brighton. They have seen plenty of the ball and are pressing high when Chelsea have the ball.

    But we've already seen how quickly Chelsea can move it through the thirds with Melanie Leupolz as the anchor in midfield.
