I think City still have another couple of gears to go to get to their best level. But they do go in the happier of the teams as they lead by two goals.

A frustrating half for Brighton. It will be interesting to see if they continue to play in the way they have in the second half.

Ceri Holland is in behind the West Ham defence but the ball won't fall for her.

She keeps hold of it, and turns, but her curled effort is held by Mackenzie Arnold.

One versus one Lauren Hemp is deadly.

But I have to say that Sophie Baggaley has to do much better with the first goal. Near post finish, she has to get a stronger, firm hand to save the shot.

Man Utd are still searching for that second goal to make this more comfortable.

That's that for the first half. Frustrating half for Brighton but Manchester City will be happy with the game so far.

Maria Thorisdottir is back on but she does look to be in some discomfort and is visibly upset.

Perhaps Brighton are just hoping to get to half time before taking a decision on whether she needs to come off.

Brighton have looked dangerous when they have got into the final third but again it is the lack of quality from them at the end.

City have had the better chances in the game and have punished Brighton for overplaying too. They have deserved breathing space.

Shania Hayles is winded after that effort and despite some treatment, that's her involvement done for the day.

She's replaced by Mari Ward.

Maria Thorisdottir is down and looks to be in some bother here.

This doesn't look great as the physios come on and two of her teammates come over to offer their support.

We're back under way at Prenton Park.

So close for the visitors.

Ffion Morgan's pace gets her in down the right and her cross is supberly flicked to the back post by Amalie Thestrup.

Shania Hayles runs onto it and her left-footed effort crashes into the post.

The referee does blow up for a foul, but I think the offence was after the strike so it would have counted.

City almost in for a third as Brighton lose the ball deep in their own half and Lauren Hemp picks it up, lays it off to Khadija Shaw who is could have had a shot but is unselfish and looks for Mary Fowler.

The effort is blocked, though.

The hosts are dominating possession at Leigh Sports Village.

There's still no clear-cut opportunity though.

One wide player setting up the other.

Good one two from Laura Coombs and Lauren Hemp, and a great delivery in to the box

It was in a difficult position for the keeper, does she come to claim the ball does she not?

Mary Fowler was there at the back post to score, a nice calm finish from her.
