Olivia Smith looks like she's stolen a march behind the City defence yet again but Jade Rose gets back brilliantly to nick the ball off her toes before she can get a shot away.

Brighton lead at the break thanks to Kiko Seike's lofted effort. This result is taking West Ham bottom as it stands, they have 45 minutes to fix it.

Russo gets up the highest in the middle to nod the resulting corner at goal, forcing Yamashita to tip over the bar.

Ouch, that's a sore one for City defender Jade Rose.

In attempting to stop Alessia Russo from shooting inside the box she caught a swift kick to the shin, as Ayaka Yamashita was required to rescue at the last with a sharp save.

Plenty of 'ooos' and 'ahhs' from the home fans as Arsenal continue to purr in attack.

You start to wonder at what stage they will regret not capitalising on this dominance if they continue to dominate without scoring a second.

After all, City will kick into gear at some point won't they?

Aston Villa's Lucy Parker is the first player to go into the book. She tugs Ceri Holland's shirt.

Her frustration with Holland is reasonable. She has absolutely torn up the right side of Villa's defence today.

A rare attack from Everton and Inma Gabarro fires the ball goalwards from a tight angle, but home goalkeeper Elene Lete shows good handling to catch the strike.

Khadija Shaw finally forces Daphne van Domselaar into action after making space for a shot on the top left corner of the area.

Though the keeper need only bend down and pick up the ball as a deflection takes all the pace off it.

I wouldn't write off this City team yet.

They've been prolific all season.

It's early days, and the players on this pitch can change the game any second.

Caitlin Foord has Kerstin Casparij's number at the minute, though the Dutch defender did just pull off a fantastic sliding tackle to prevent the Aussie winger from getting another cross in.

Arsenal look to try again from the corner but play is called back for a foul in the six yard box.

Another great chance for London City Lionesses with Isobel Goodwin getting there to head at the goal and the ball is dipping under the crossbar until Courtney Brosnan leaps superbly to push it over the top.

Daphne van Domselaar has not had a save to make yet in the Arsenal goal, meanwhile at the other end it's a shooting exercise for the Gunners.

Katie McCabe is the latest to try her luck from distance as she crashes a shot into the advertising boards a couple of yards wide of City goal.

Another chance for London City Lionesses, who are dominating without finding the breakthrough. The latest opportunity drops for Jana Fernandez, but she fires hard and low just wide of goal.

That runaway WSL leaders Manchester City have so far largely been limited to counter-attacks says a lot about Arsenal's performance.

The Gunners look comfortable in possession and are disrupting City's build-up with a well-organised press.

Lauren Hemp had a quiet opening half an hour until a moment ago when she dodged left and right to evade Emily Fox before crossing a decent ball into the middle.

City need to try to get her and Kerolin on the opposite flank involved more. It's far too easy for the Arsenal back line at the moment.

West Ham are sloppy in possession and gift it to Brighton's Maisie Symonds but her 30-yard effort does not have the required power to cause serious problems for home keeper Kinga Szemik.

A rare attack from the visitors as Kirsty Hanson carries the ball into the Liverpool third, but Villa take too long to shift it about and the hosts quickly recover.

Liverpool have been excellent in attack, but their defence has also been solid.

In fairness Dave, you'd have to go very far to find a defender able to keep up with Olivia Smith when she gets going. She's lightning fast.
