Chelsea reasserted an eight-point lead at the top, overturning a half-time deficit to win 2-1 at Manchester City.

Visitors’ goalkeeper Hannah Hampton blocked an effort from Kerolin, who continued to cause problems with Lucy Bronze forced into a crucial header, before opening the scoring after the half hour with a shot through Millie Bright’s legs.

Jess Park fired the ball home but the whistle had gone for a foul on Kerolin, after which Yui Hasegawa’s free kick hit the bar.

Four minutes after the break Chelsea equalised with a beautifully created goal, finished by Aggie Beever-Jones.

Khiara Keating turned a Wieke Kaptein shot over the top, then moments later Johanna Rytting-Kaneryd hit the face of the far pos.

Keating kept out effort from the same Chelsea pair again, then in the 89th minute got down to turn a Lauren James strike behind.

But in added time, Erin Cuthbert buried a stooping header from Ashley Lawrence’s cross.

Elisabeth Terland bagged a brace in ten first-half minutes to set Manchester United on the road to victory at Aston Villa.

Celin Bizet Ildhusøy set up the first and Jayde Riviere crossed for Terland to head home the second.

Riviere was involved again as Grace Clinton scored United’s third just before the break, Leah Galton turned in a Melvine Malard delivery for a fourth after the hour.

The result puts United back level on points with second-placed Arsenal and now seven ahead of Man City, while Villa remain a single point ahead of Crystal Palace in the relegation battle.

Leicester City saw off a Brighton fightback to win 3-2 and move six points away from danger.

Shannon O’Brien fired Leicester ahead from outside the box, Saori Takarada turned in a Hannah Cain cross and it was 3-0 by the break with a Rachel McLauchlan own-goal.

Brighton hit back as Madison Haley netted from outside the box after a ball from Nikita Parris, who then won a penalty that Fran Kirby converted.

West Ham leapfrogged Tottenham into eighth place when sending them to a 2-0 defeat.

Spurs dominated the first quarter of an hour, only to then go behind when Verena Hamshaw’s shot was deflected past her own goalkeeper by the outstretched leg of Josefine Rybrink.

In stoppage-time at the end of the first half, Tottenham’s Eveliina Summanen curled a free kick against the crossbar, then in the latter stages Martha Thomas hit the post.

The Hammers sealed the points in then 90th minute, when Viviane Asseyi’s free kick from the wing beat everyone to end up inside the far post.
