90+1 min: We’re into six minutes of added time…
89 min: Nüsken goes for an audacious strike after Janssen gives the ball away. With Tullis-Joyce off her line, she attempts to lob the United goalkeeper, but her effort runs just wide.
85 min: Another substitution for Chelsea as Nelly Las replaces Carpenter, who has had a fantastic game.
84 min: Bernal is shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Bronze.
82 min: Chance for United as a long ball is sent through to Schüller, who initially beats Buchanan for pace. However, the defender gets back just in time to slide in and make the block.
80 min: Both teams make another change. For United, Terland makes way for Lea Schüller.
And for Chelsea, Giulia Dragoni is on for her WSL debut. She replaces Kaptein.
78 min: Huge save from Tullis-Joyce! The goalkeeper prevents Buchanan from making it five with a huge stop from close range.
76 min: Chelsea have been dominant all over the pitch in this game, but especially so in midfield, largely thanks to the partnership of Potter and Walsh. United have been completely overrun.
74 min: Walsh goes for her second goal of the game after receiving a pass on the edge of the box. She strikes first time, but her effort flies wide.
71 min: Sonia Bompastor makes a triple substitution. Veerle Buurman replaces McCabe, with Maika Hamano on for James and Sandy Baltimore replacing Thompson.
67 min: Amid the chaos, Eva Olid made two more changes. Rebeca Bernal is on for Toone, with Simi Awujo replacing Jusu Bah.
66 min: Kaptein wins the ball from Janssen in an attacking position before setting it to Carpenter on her right. The full-back makes a run into the box before firing her shot home.

GOAL! Manchester United 0-3 Chelsea (Lauren James, 61)
Lauren James just loves a goal against Manchester United! She makes it three for Chelsea!
60 min: Thompson plays in a deep cross from the left side of the box. Carpenter somehow prevents the ball from running behind and instead guides it into the six-yard box, but Chelsea can’t make the most of the chance.
58 min: Substitution for Manchester United as Anna Sandberg replaces Medina, who is furious about having to come off. The defender wanted to return to the pitch despite that ankle knock.
56 min: Another chance for Chelsea as James challenges Tullis-Joyce with a flick-on. The goalkeeper lets the ball slip out of her grasp and it falls to Thompson, who attempts to square a pass across goal, but nobody is there to make the tap-in.
53 min: Medina looks in a lot of discomfort following a 50-50 challenge with Potter. She is able to walk off the pitch, although gingerly.
51 min: Jusu Bah appears to have taken a bit of a knock following a challenge from Bronze. She looks to play on for now.
49 min: Both teams are yet to make a change, although you’d expect Sonia Bompastor to perhaps switch things up soon, especially given the strength of Chelsea’s bench.
46 min: United have a free kick in a dangerous position early in this second half following a challenge on Lundkvist from Thompson. It’s played short, though, and United fail to create any threat.
