Chelsea 1–0 Tottenham — Walsh Wonder Keeps Blues on Top
Chelsea maintained their unbeaten start with a narrow but deserved win at Kingsmeadow. Katie Walsh struck just after the hour, converting from Erin Carpenter’s neat lay-off. Spurs pushed late on but found no way past a disciplined back line as the champions kept another clean sheet and top spot intact.
Arsenal 1–0 Brighton — Own Goal Settles a Tight Encounter
At the Emirates, Arsenal earned a narrow win courtesy of a first-half own goal from M. Oislagers. Brighton held firm after that early setback, while the Gunners managed the game with control but couldn’t extend their advantage. Three points, though, keep them in the chasing pack.
Liverpool 1–2 Manchester City — Fujino Finishes Late to Seal It
City edged another thriller on Merseyside. Liverpool took a surprise lead through C. Kapocs early in the second half, but the visitors responded instantly via Ila Beney. With the game on a knife-edge, Arisa Fujino struck in the 86th minute after Sydney Lohmann’s assist — maintaining City’s impressive momentum at the top.
London City Lionesses 1–0 West Ham — Asllani Strikes for Another Win
London City Lionesses continued their impressive run at Hayes Lane as Kosovare Asllani fired home in the 68th minute to down West Ham. It was a tight, tactical contest decided by a single moment of quality — and another reminder that the newcomers are adjusting quickly to top-flight life.
Aston Villa 0–0 Leicester — Even Battle at Villa Park
Neither Aston Villa nor Leicester could find a breakthrough in Walsall. Villa dominated possession while Leicester defended with discipline, and despite late half-chances at both ends, the points were shared. It’s a clean sheet each and a result that sums up how competitive the middle of the table has become.
Everton 1–4 Manchester United — Park Brace Powers United
Manchester United turned on the style at Hill Dickinson Stadium, coming from behind to sweep past Everton. The hosts led through Hayashi, but an own goal from Kitagawa and strikes from Melvine Malard and a Jayde Park brace turned the tide. With Ella Toone pulling the strings, United delivered a commanding away win that keeps them firmly in contention.
