What an unbelievable strike that is from Jodie Hutton. As soon as you saw it leave her foot, you knew it was good.

It's an unbelievable hit, what a way to score the first goal of the season. There was nothing else for her to do, no one else in the box. She had to go for it, unbelievable!

Lexi Potter's opener has put a stop to a curious Women's Super League record.

Before today, each of the past 13 goals which Birmingham City have conceded in the top flight have come in the second half. It's the longest run in WSL history.

But England under-23s midfielder Potter has ended it. And don't be surprised if City concede a second first-half goal this afternoon.

There's a surge of noise from the home crowd as Alyssa Thompson speeds into the box with the ball at her feet.

She can't believe she has as much time and space as she does to line up her shot, which goes over the bar.

Birmingham City's defence need to tighten up. Chelsea scored five last weekend and smell blood again today.

Grace Geyoro's cross from the right is half cleared to Poppy Pattinson at the edge of the penalty area, but her low effort is well blocked.

It feels like another London City goal is coming.

First chance of the game for Birmingham City as Oceane Hurtre wins a free kick midway through the Chelsea half.

It's Hurtre who delivers it toward the back post. City captain Millie Turner is waiting beneath it, but Chelsea manage to scramble it clear for a corner.

Charlton get a rare opportunity to attack but Gillian Kenney is caught so far offside the flag goes up immediately.

That's really poor from the American forward.

Chelsea take a quick throw in and find Alyssa Thompson racing beyond City's back line.

With a neat touch, she avoids a yellow shirt on the slide, but Birmingham City goalkeeper Baggaley stops her shot from close range.

You can see what London City are trying to do, they're looking for those little slip passes to try and break that Charlton backline.

It should be 3-0!

Danielle van de Donk meets a corner unchallenged but can't keep her header down and it loops over the crossbar.

The Dutchwoman has scored in both London City games this season.

We've entered a bit of a lull at The Valley - London City are in full control, and are happy to pass the ball around and tire out the hosts.

A long spell of possession results in Poppy Pattinson running onto a through ball, but Charlton get a block in and the visitors have a corner.

The crowd at Stamford Bridge applaud in memory of Matt Beard, on the eve of the anniversary of his passing.

He spent three years as Chelsea manager between 2009 and 2012.

His brother, Mark Beard, is in the stadium this afternoon as Assistant Head Coach of Birmingham City.

Looking at Charlton, they haven't really got someone who's going to get their foot stuck in and control the possession for them.

They do look more organised and hard to break down, but I think they are missing someone who can not only dictate that back line, but someone who can control the game.

A very bright and dominant start from the hosts. Reminiscent of their win in Manchester last week... could be plenty of goals in store today.

Every time Charlton get it, they are sending it straight back to the defence. They want to go long.

A well-worked corner routine finds Chelsea's Keira Walsh 20 yards out.

The England midfielder has time to pick her spot and strikes it cleanly, but wide.

Goodwin just looks so threatening when she gets going.

Isobel Goodwin looks to run on to Isa Kardinaal's long ball over the top of the Charlton defence, but goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse is quick off her line to collect.

Charlton can't keep track of Goodwin at the moment.
