Thoughts?<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Half-time scores:<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Half-time<\/p>\n It\u2019s half-time across the grounds! Still all to play for in three games, but I think it would be safe to say there is no way back for West Ham at Kingsmeadow\u2026<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Manchester City 1-0 Everton: We\u2019re into stoppage time but there has been a lengthy delay due to a serious injury to Snoeijs, who was carried off on a stretcher.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>GOAL!

Chelsea 3-0 West Ham (Alyssa Thompson, 41)<\/p>\n A very well-worked goal for the hosts as Kaneryd plays Carpenter through in the box.
