There are some wasted opportunities by West Ham.

They need to not get bored of having the ball, work their way up their pitch to create some out and out opportunities, rather than putting hopeful balls into the box.

Brighton's Olivia Garcia is shown a yellow card for a tactical foul, wrapping both arms around a West Ham player to stop her advancing.

Katie Zelem's free-kick finds Ines Belloumou. Her effort on goal is disappointing.

Brighton's Fran Kirby is not happy at all.

She is sent clear on goal by Olivia Garcia, with only Constance Picaud-Inconnu to beat.

The linesperson calls Kirby offside. But replays suggest otherwise.

When we conducted a poll before kick-off about this game, 72% of you said that Brighton would win.

I'm yet to see anything which contradicts that forecast.

Brighton are running the show so far in this second half.

They're knocking it between themselves with ease.

Oh my. It's nearly an own goal by West Ham's Ines Belloumou.

Constance Picaud-Inconnu prods Olivia Garcia's cross clear of her goal. It rebounds off Belloumou back toward goal, but fortunately trickles wide.

Maisie Symond's quality strike from range is the difference at the break. A special goal to reward those loyal fans who've turned out in the pouring rain for this game.

Will Brighton hold out for all three points in the second half?

West Ham's Viviane Asseyi is fouled, giving Estelle Carscarino the opportunity to shoot from a free-kick.

Chiamaka Nnadozie punches it clear, and then the ball falls to Asseyi inside the box. She shoots wide.

At the other end, Constance Piccaud-Inconnu gets a vital hand to a cross to stop Brighton doubling their lead.

Brighton Jelena Cankovic is on her feet and play continues.

West Ham are having a good go at levelling things up before the break but the Seagulls are dealing with them easily.

Oh dear, we've another clash of heads.

This time it's Brighton's Jelena Cankovic on the floor and staff are going through concussion protocols to ensure she's fit to continue.

Meantime, the fourth official has added six minutes on.

Both players are okay to continue and play resumes.

Brighton goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie is happy to wait with the ball at the feet to tempt West Ham into pressing.

The referee pauses play while Kelly Gago and Chiamaka Nnadozie are checked out by medical staff.

They both went for the ball and potentially clashed heads.

Kiko Seike wants a penalty, or at least a free kick on the edge of the box.

She's sent running on goal by Fran Kirby, before Eva Nystrom wipes her out - and the Japan international throws herself forward into the box.

It looks like a brilliant, crucial tackle on first watch - but I'm not sure if Nystrom got a touch on the ball there.

I'm still reeling from that Maisie Symonds hit.

When you see a player run onto a moving ball, you expect it to hit row X more often than not.

But Symonds strikes it perfectly. It swerves away from the centre of the goal, kissing the post before hitting the net. Lovely.

Maisie Symonds is saying "bring it on, I've just scored a worldie" - and I would too!
