Follow live text updates and BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra commentary as Chelsea host Arsenal in the Women's Super League.
Given the backing he's had is this really good enough from the Arsenal manager? Surely questions are going to be asked.Lauren James sets herself up for a curling effort from 20 yards, but she doesn't manage to hit the target.Steph Catley is receiving some treatment for a knee issue. She signalled to the bench immediately after going down.A sign of Sjoeke Nusken's versatility is that she'd played at centre-back in Chelsea's past two games, owing to their injury troubles.
Leah Williamson in particular hasn't looked herself. She was the one complaining about the second goal being offside. I don't know if that's got into her mind a little bit. The third goal with the misplaced pass across the pitch was very unlike her. She is probably desperate for half-time to come, change those socks and get herself in a fresh mindset.She skips past Arsenal's defenders out wide and only a last-ditch tackle from Lia Walti is able to dispossess the Chelsea forward.
She's almost embarrassed to claim that one. Who'd have thought Nusken would be on for a hat-trick 30 minutes into the game? It's a deadly counter attack from Chelsea. They are really capitalising on every mistake Arsenal make.Leah Williamson completely messes up a diagonal free-kick, it's picked up by Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Arsenal are wide open at the back.
Rytting Kaneryd looks set to score after charging through the visitors' defence - instead, it's another late touch byRytting Kaneryd's strike deflects off of Nusken and Chelsea have three. Total control.Beth Mead does well to get in down the right-hand side, but Niamh Charles tracks her run and forces her to put the ball behind for a goal-kick.Katie McCabe sends a tempting delivery into the hosts' box, but it's out of Steph Catley's reach.
The Gunners collect the ball on the edge of the box and earn a free-kick in a dangerous area, though, after an Erin Cuthbert foul.
