  1. HT: London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    Emily Murphy attempted just three passes in that first half, though she did hit the crossbar with a header.

    Brighton will want to get her a bit more involved in the second half.

  2. HALF-TIME

    London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    That'll do it for the first half.

    Neither side created too many clear chances, but Alexia Putellas took one for London City to open her WSL account.

    Emily Murphy almost drew Brighton level, but her header came off the crossbar.

  3. London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    The referee awards a corner, Brighton complain, then it's changed to a goal-kick. London City can't believe it.

  4. 'London City are making it hard for Brighton'

    London City do well in the build up there, take players out and playing the lines. They're making it hard for Brighton to pick them up.

  5. London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie is quick off her line to head a lofted pass out of play, but then doesn't see the need to rush back to her goal...

    London City look to catch her out but for some reason don't get a shot away. Let off for Brighton.

  6. London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    Emily Murphy looks to run onto a through ball from Lia Walti, but a combination of Mapi Leon and London City goalkeeper Elene Lete snuffs out the danger.

  7. London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    Alexia Putellas finds Kadidiatou Diani down the right with a fantastic pass, but Freya Godfrey can't quite get her head to the cross.

  8. London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton skipper Maisie Symonds winds up a shot from distance but is whistles wide of Elene Lete's post.

    The visitors have responded well to going behind.

  9. 'I thought that was Brighton's moment'

    I thought that was Brighton's moment. It's a great cross from Kirby, Murphy does well but Seike can't get it guided into the net.

  10. HITS THE WOODWORK

    London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    Brighton almost draw level, but Emily Murphy hits the crossbar with a header!

    The striker did so well to meet Fran Kirby's cross from deep, but Kiko Seike can't convert the rebound on the turn.

  11. 'The pressure is off Putellas'

    Fern Whelan

    Putellas getting her first goal in the WSL and you can see her telling the others players lets be calm now, don't be vulnerable.

    The pressure is off now, she's got her first goal, I was expecting a double save though from the goalkeeper Nnadozie.

    GOAL - London City Lionesses 1-0 Brighton

    Alexia Putellas (29 mins)

    Alexia Putellas has her first goal in English football!

    Grace Geyoro sees her close range effort well saved after running onto a Kadidiatou Diani pass, but Putellas is there to convert the rebound after Gabby George failed to clear properly.

    Brighton goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie will be disappointed with that as she got hands to Putellas' strike. Her first save was excellent.

  13. 'They're making the wrong decisions'

    Fern Whelan

    London City are trying to force that final pass and they're making the wrong decision at that key moment.

  14. London City Lionesses 0-0 Brighton

    Brighton midfielder Lia Walti goes down just inside the penalty area claiming she was pushed over by Grace Geyoro, but the referee isn't interested.

  15. London City Lionesses 0-0 Brighton

    Midway through the first half and it's London City who are in the ascendency.

    They are keeping hold of the ball much better than Brighton, and have created a few more chances.

    But we remain goalless for the time being.

  16. 'You've got to get bodies on the end of it'

    London City Lionesses 0-0 Brighton

    Fern Whelan
    Former England and Brighton defender on Sky Sports

    Such an inviting delivery, you've got to get bodies on the end of it. It's training ground stuff for London City that they'll probably work on week in week out.

    It's curved the ball so you want to be get in the box at the right angle.

  17. London City Lionesses 0-0 Brighton

    Mapi Leon whips in another inviting free-kick from the left, but Alexia Putellas can't direct her effort goalward on the stretch.

  18. London City Lionesses 0-0 Brighton

    Now London City have a chance from a corner, but Jana Fernandez heads over from an out-swinging Mapi Leon corner.

  19. London City Lionesses 0-0 Brighton

    London City fail to clear the corner and Manuela Vanegas heads over!

    To be fair to the Brighton defender, she was somewhat put off by the presence of goalkeeper Elene Lete.

  20. 'Nnadozie has been really alert'

    London City Lionesses 0-0 Brighton

    Fern Whelan
    Former England and Brighton defender on Sky Sports

    Nnadozie has done well so far, she's been really alert to those balls coming through.

    It's a great ball from Putellas finding Diani on the right hand side.
