How they rated
GRACE MOLONEY
Made several exceptional saves, particularly in the first-half when she was called into action far too often to rescue her team.
LILY WOODHAM
Had Reading’s best attempt of the first-half when she showed quick feet in the box to break away from a challenge and get a shot away.
GEMMA EVANS
Had plenty of defensive work to do in the first-half. West Ham got through the middle all too easily for the opener.
DEANNA COOPER
Put in some vital blocks including one on Leon that stopped a certain goal, but could have done better with the opening goal.
FAYE BRYSON
Struggled at times defensively but did better going forward and got on the scoresheet deep into stoppage time.
SANNE TROELSGAARD
Overrun in midfield by a lively West Ham display as the visitors controlled proceedings in the opening hour of the contest.
JUSTINE VANHAEVERMAET
Not her usual domineering self in the middle of the park. Faced a stern test up against West Ham who had much better of the ball.
TASH HARDING
Wasn’t able to stamp much influence on the game in either box. Picked up a yellow card early in the first-half.
AMALIE EIKELAND
Worked hard on the wing and had to help out on numerous occasions in defence as Reading were put under constant pressure in the first-half.
RACHEL ROWE
Battled hard in the attacking third to try and press the Hammers when they played from the back. Her pressing led to Woodham’s shot.
DEANNE ROSE
Starved of service for most of the game. Better in the second-half but didn’t get any chances in front of goal.
