"Liverpool's nightmare start under Gareth Taylor in the Women's Super League continued after they lost 1-0 at newly promoted London City Lionesses. Ex- Manchester City boss Taylor had tasted defeat in his opening three league fixtures as the Reds' head coach, but looked on course for a point until Liverpool-born Nikita Parris won a spot-kick after being brought down by goalkeeper Rafaela Borggräfe."
"Summer recruit Tandberg had already scored in wins over Everton and Leicester this season and grabbed another decisive goal for Spurs when she finished off a smart cross by Jessica Naz after 26 minutes. It proved enough to ensure Spurs continued their fine start under Martin Ho, with the north London club onto 12 points and up to four wins -- only one short of their overall tally in the 2024-25 campaign."
"Second-half goals by Kirsty Hanson and Lynn Wilms helped Aston Villa register a first league victory of the season with a 2-0 triumph at West Ham. Hanson broke the deadlock on the hour mark with a superb strike after a short corner before provider Wilms produced an equally excellent free-kick seven minutes later to wrap up the scoring. The result marked a fifth consecutive league defeat for West Ham and kept them bottom of the table."
Liverpool lost 1-0 at London City Lionesses when Elena Linari converted a penalty in the 89th minute after Nikita Parris was fouled by goalkeeper Rafaela Borggräfe, extending Gareth Taylor's poor league start. Tottenham moved up to third as Cathinka Tandberg scored again, finishing Jessica Naz's cross and bringing Spurs to 12 points with four wins under Martin Ho. Aston Villa earned a first league victory, beating West Ham 2-0 through Kirsty Hanson and Lynn Wilms, leaving West Ham with five consecutive defeats and bottom of the table. Leicester drew with Everton after Noémie Mouchon equalised late following Ornella Vignola's opener.
