"Khadija Shaw's late goal ensured Manchester City took full advantage of Chelsea's slip-up to move nine points clear in the Women's Super League. Chelsea went down 2-0 to Arsenal on Saturday, though it looked as though City would fail to take their chance to put even more distance between themselves and the defending champions as they were frustrated by London City Lionesses on Sunday. However, Shaw got onto a loose ball to lash home in the 86th minute, securing a 2-1 win for City"
"Liverpool finally claimed their first league win of the season as they beat Tottenham 2-0 at home. The Reds have failed to have a single shot on target in more games than any other side in the WSL this season (two), but they changed that tune by having five on frame, albeit they had to wait until second-half stoppage time for substitute Mia Enderby to score twice. Bottom-place Liverpool are just a point behind West Ham, who beat fellow strugglers Leicester City 2-1."
"City have now won their last 12 top-flight matches, and are just the second team, after Chelsea last season, to win 12 of their opening 13 games of a WSL campaign. They left it late, and there was little to separate them from London City in terms of chances. The Lionesses created opportunities worth 1.7 expected goals, while City finished with 1.99 xG."
Manchester City moved nine points clear at the top of the Women's Super League after Khadija Shaw's 86th-minute strike secured a 2-1 victory over London City Lionesses. Kerolin opened the scoring before Freya Godfrey levelled for the Lionesses. Isobel Goodwin struck the woodwork twice as London City extended a four-match winless run. Chelsea lost 2-0 to Arsenal, allowing City to widen the gap. Liverpool earned their first league win with Mia Enderby scoring twice in stoppage time to beat Tottenham. West Ham beat Leicester 2-1, and Manchester United thumped Aston Villa 4-1. City have won 12 consecutive top-flight matches and sit among WSL record-holders.
