10 min Looking at the goal again, I’m not sure Bronze’s pass was a blind one, rather a dreadful one. No doubt the distinction will make her feel much better.
8 min This has been a really entertaining start. Chelsea are threatening now, but Villa look enterprising on the counter and like they believe they can get something out of this.
6 min Pre-match, Arroyo told us she wanted her side to stay in the game early on, but they’ve done plenty more than that. But Chelsea are awake now, Thompson running off Nightswonger, and collecting a pass into stride before crossing; in the middle, Patten does just enough to lever Kerr out of it before, backing up from the left, James again shoots wide.
5 min Back come Chelsea, Walsh having a shot blocked, then James fires wide.
4 min Chelsea have plenty of time to get that goal back, but Bompastor will be concerned by so lackadaisical a start.
