Erin Cuthbert on BBC Two: "I thought the fourth goal was mine, then I saw it bounce out.

"I was gutted. Then it fell perfectly to Beth. Goal or assist, it doesn't matter to me - the ball has gone in the net."

We've just had it confirmed from Leicester City that there are 4,473 in attendance at the King Power today.

Erin Cuthbert on BBC Two: "We needed the win today after the disappointment of last week.

"I didn't think we were miles off it at Arsenal. But it was a real statement of intent in front of our fans today."

There were 127 seconds between Arsenal's second and third goals.

Reading are already in damage-limitation mode. There is a gulf in class between the two sides, but the hosts are not helping themselves with some poor defending.

Ona Batlle is causing all kinds of problems. She's been excellent since joining Man Utd last summer.

Her run inside off the left opens up space and Lucy Staniforth rasps a ferocious shot at Kirsty Levell, who is solid again in net for Leicester.

Emma Hayes on BBC Two talking about Jess Carter: "Jess will tell you I'm really tough on her but that is because I believe in her, not because I want to be.

"I think England have got themselves a fantastic player; she's got everything: pace, composure, the day in, day out mentality. I think that is what it has taken time for her to gain."

Emma Hayes on BBC Sport: "I didn't think we were bad last week; we were rusty and a draw was probably fair. I know we are capable of this performance."

Kirsy Levell is good to go. She hoofs it forward for Lachante Paul.

Inessa Kaagman stands over a free-kick in an inviting position.

She lifts it up and over the wall and Emily Ramsey is there to make the save for Birmingham.

Another injury and this time it's Leicester goalkeeper Kirsty Levell who needs treatment.

Jonathan Morgan gathers his team around for a chat.

Lachante Paul's strike goes just wide for Leicester and up the other end, Leah Galton is forced back to Maria Thorisdottir.

Jess Sigsworth then puts the United backline under pressure but it's worked out nicely by Aoife Mannion.

Chelsea were fantastic. It wasn't the start Everton would have wanted in the second half. That gave Chelsea momentum and it could have been more than 4-0.

Arsenal really could do without any more injuries but Rachel Rowe clatters into Lia Walti leaving her opponent on the ground in a heap.

It earns the Reading player the game's first yellow card.

The hosts have just registered their first shot on target in the 27th minute - Emma Harries testing the keeper after busting into the box.

Jemma Purfield whips in a free-kick for Leicester but it's well cleared by Maria Thorisdottir.

Pretty even so far.

Champions Chelsea earned their first win of the 2021-22 season in some style.

For Everton, that's their second 4-0 defeat in as many weeks.

Katie Zelem is at the back post as the corner comes in from Man Utd but Kirsty Levell claws it off the line.
