Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United Rachel Brown-Finnis Former England goalkeeper on BBC One Lauren James is so impressive. Predatory forward play from her. Look how thunderous that strike is. Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United Anyway, we're resume and Phallon Tullis-Joyce is quickly called upon to save a wicked Lauren James drive from creeping inside the near post. Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United Just as well the United keeper isn't still playing in her native NWSL. They've outlawed such obvious time stoppages there. .. Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United United keeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce sits down in her box and waves for treatment as the clock strikes 81 minutes. I didn't see anything untoward with the USA keeper, but nevertheless the medics are on and we'll have a little pause in play. Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United United load the box with red shirts at a corner as their hopes begin to drift away. The delivery from Julia Zigiotti Olme is decent but Chelsea keeper Hannah Hampton produces a commanding claim. Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United Rachel Brown-Finnis Former England goalkeeper on BBC One I'm absolutely delighted for Aggie Beever-Jones because she's had to be so patient. This is no more than a half chance. She's first to the ball and she makes it hers. She scuffs it accurately. That's what she brings, that dead-eye for goal. What a time to score for Chelsea. That is not a lucky finish. Delight for the Chelsea fan and player. Chelsea 2-0 Manchester United That's surely that isn't it? It looked a long way back for United at 1-0, now with Chelsea two goals to the good it seems beyond doubt. Aggie Beever-Jones (76 mins) That's the second for Chelsea. Johanna Rytting Kaneryd finally finds her target with the cross, and that player is Aggie Beever-Jones. The looping cross drops to the England forward's feet in the six yard box, and under pressure from Maya Le Tissier, she toe pokes beyond the reach of Phallon Tulis-Joyce into the far bottom corner. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United FYI that injury to Bjorn a few minutes ago has seen Sjoeke Nusken move out to be a makeshift right-back for Chelsea, while veteran Lucy Bronze has shuffled across into centre-back alongside Veerle Buurman. United really have to do more to work that makeshift back line. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United RBF has a point, it's at a walking pace for Chelsea. They're not being made to work for this trophy as it stands. It's comfortable, surely far too comfortable for Marc Skinner's liking. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Rachel Brown-Finnis Former England goalkeeper on BBC One Manchester United are getting a little bit desperate now. You thought in the first half when they had more shots than Chelsea they would've got more on target. There seems to be that lack of belief. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Lauren James jinks inside from the right wing and goes for goal from distance but it's fired straight into the torso of Phallon Tullis-Joyce. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United In an attempt to draw Chelsea onto them United go short from their next goal kick. It's risky, perhaps a little too risky, and with the blue jerseys circling they are given a reprieve as Erin Cuthbert fouls Julia Zigiotti Olme on the edge of the box. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Emma Sanders BBC Sport women’s football news reporter at Ashton Gate Nathalie Bjorn is understandably distraught after having to come off early and was consoled by Chelsea staff. United defender Gabby George gives her a hug near the tunnel as she comes out to warm-up too. Bjorn also has a long embrace with Sonia Bompastor and she is in tears as Kadeisha Buchanan helps her into the changing rooms. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Thankfully after a quick check the 20 year old is ok to continue and the ball gets back rolling. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United As soon as Kaptein comes on she's down holding her head after catching the ball flush to the back of the head. That looked a sore one. The Chelsea medics are called into action for a second time in quick succession. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Rachel Brown-Finnis Former England goalkeeper on BBC One They need to look after Nathalie Bjorn physically and mentally. These girls are a long way from home and they need to be looked after as family at the club. And I'm sure they will be. This will be a low point for Bjorn but hopefully she can come back safely. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Bjorn can't continue here. She limps off with the help of two medics propping her up. Dutch midfielder Wieke Kaptein is on in her place, which means a bit of a re-shuffle at the back for the Blues. Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United Horrible scenes as Nathalie Bjorn is in tears moments after coming on. Replays showed her grabbing her calf after playing a forward pass in what was her first touch of the ball. The medics are on immediately to check on her. Match report to appear here.
