Chelsea vs Man City live: Score and goal updates in WSL opener

54 mins: CLOSE! Just wide from Hasegawa who flicks on a low delivery by Hemp but can’t find the far corner!

She’s playing with plenty of confidence – but as of yet, the finishing touch eludes her.

52 mins: Khadija Shaw is getting increasingly frustrated as she heads Greenwood’s deep corner wide.

Whether she’s annoyed at herself or the service, she’s not a happy Bunny… sorry.

49 mins: Hannah Hampton needs to be sharp there as Hasegawa runs onto the falling ball and volleys goalwards.

It’s straight down the keeper’s throat as she parries away, but if that was anywhere but the centre, Hampton would have been in real trouble.

We’re off again at Stamford Bridge.

Defending champions Chelsea go into the break with the lead over potential challengers Manchester City.

Aggie Beever-Jones’ strike is all that separates the two teams at half-time with new signing Ellie Carpenter already proving a shrewd investment, putting it on a plate for the Blues sharpshooter.

45+3 mins: CLOSE! Miedema with one final glance at goal for the first half for City.

She squares up to shoot after driving from halfway but can only fire past the post, with her effort pinging off the advertising board.

That should be that for the first 45!

45 mins: We’ll have THREE minutes added on for the first half.

43 mins: Closing in on half-time and while Man City are still pushing for an equaliser, Chelsea seem to have ridden out the worst of the storm.

That said, the ball was just given away in their own final third – sloppy mistakes they may struggle to keep getting away with.

36 mins: OFF THE BAR! So close to an equaliser for Man City.

Greenwood stands over the free-kick and whips it over the wall, with it looking destined to fly into the top-right corner.

Instead, it rattles the bar with Hampton beaten.
