Chelsea's lead at the Women's Super League summit was cut to six points after West Ham ended the Blues' season-long winning streak at Kingsmeadow in thrilling fashion.

Sonia Bompastor's side looked to be cruising to victory when Maika Hamano's volley and Aggie Beever-Jones' delicate finish put them two up after 21 minutes. But Shekiera Martinez turned the game on its head, halving the lead just before the interval and reappearing in stoppage time to make it 2-2.
