It's now or never for Brighton with the final of the four minutes of stoppage time looming.

Keeper Chiamaka Nnadozie gets the green light to go up for a corner.

It's floated right onto the top of Hannah Hampton but she does well to punch clear above a sea of bodies under the goalline and then several wearing blue shirts throw themselves to stop the follow up.

That may just be enough.

How's that not gone in?!

Melvine Malard is set running in behind the West Ham defence with only Kinga Szemik to beat but she runs into the keeper's low dive.

The ball then breaks with another United player firing towards the empty net but Eva Nystrom gets back to clear it off the line!

Brighton captain Maisie Symonds stands over a free-kick as we tick into the 90th minute of the game.

She opts for a shot instead of curling into the middle for what looks like a million yellow shirts to contest, and fires it into the centre of the Chelsea wall.

That had to be the opener.

Viviane Asseyi had the freedom of the Manchester United penalty area but after being picked out by Ffion Morgan with a wonderful looping delivery she heads into the gloves of Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

Either side of the keeper and West Ham would have been in the lead.

Melvine Malard has caused a few issues since coming on for Manchester United.

West Ham are well aware of her threat and are sticking very tight to her, so tight in fact that she's been upended several times already.

Sonia Bompastor makes another change to her Chelsea team as they look to see this narrow game out, with Chloe Sarwie replacing Wieke Kaptein.

Brighton boss Dario Vidosic also makes a pair of alterations, bringing off Blues legend Fran Kirby who receives a warm ovation, for Olaug Tvedten, and Rachel McLauchlan for Marit Auee.

Lea Schuller has to score that.

The German is presented with the simplest task of hitting the target after a wonderful pick out from Fridolina Rolfo but she nods her header straight at the torso of Kinga Szemik.

Jess Park looks rather miffed as she's replaced by Melvine Malard just shy of the hour mark.

In fairness to Marc Skinner, it was another quiet showing from the England international.

Top goalscorer Elisabeth Terland is also off for Simi Awujo.

Do not adjust your TV sets, there is a floodlight flickering at Kingsmeadow. We continue to play on for now though.

Maelys Mpome crunches into a tackle on Aggie Beever-Jones, leaving her former team-mate in a heap on the floor.

The now Brighton midfielder then wallops a speculative shot towards goal that almost clears the stand behind it and receives a booking for her troubles.

Millie Turner opts for the safety of the touchline with Shekiera Martinez closing her down.

West Ham do well to recycle the resulting possession to make space for a crossing opportunity but substitute Gabby George nicks it off the toes of Ffion Morgan at the last.

A sore one for Lucy Bronze as she misjudges a defensive header and catches the ball awkwardly on the top of her head.

After a moment or two she puffs out her cheeks and gets back to her feet to continue.

Her midde name is 'Tough' after all.

The delivery fails to beat the player on the front post and then the referee awards a free-kick to the visitors anyway for a shove.

Ines Belloumou takes advantage of Jess Park switching off to get the run on the Manchester United winger and reach the byline.

Park does just enough to recover and get a foot in to put it out for a corner.

Lucy Bronze adds her name to the book for going through the back of Madison Haley when trying to make amends for her own loose touch.

Marc Skinner was the first manager to blink at half time, bringing on Gabby George for Dominique Janssen at full-back for the night's opening change.

Away we go for the second half at Chigwell Construction Stadium.

We've just seen Lauren James walk around the perimeter of the pitch towards the dressing rooms with ice strapped to her quad. That's a bit of a concern for Chelsea.

Here's hoping that's just a result of lots of minutes in the legs in the last four days and nothing more serious.

The National Women's Super League in the United States started last weekend and we've been investigating the world's first bespoke stadium for a women's football team.

Kansas City Current's CPKC Stadium holds 11,500, is always full and could set a blueprint for other teams around the world - including in the WSL.
