Arsenal 1–1 Aston Villa — Late Parker Leveller Denies Gunners
Arsenal looked set for three points after Frida Maanum scored in the first half, but Villa battled until the end and found a stoppage time equaliser through Lucy Parker. The Gunners controlled much of the game yet could not add a second goal, and Villa’s persistence was rewarded right at the death.
Liverpool 0–2 Manchester United — Miyazawa and Toone Take Control
United landed the first punch almost immediately through Hinata Miyazawa, then tightened their grip as Ella Toone doubled the lead just before half-time. Liverpool pushed after the interval but could not break a composed United shape, with the visitors seeing the game out professionally at St Helens.
Manchester City 4–1 London City Lionesses — Shaw’s Penalty Double
City flew out of the blocks: Vivianne Miedema headed the opener and Laura Blindkilde Brown made it two inside 14 minutes. LCL pulled one back before half-time to keep it lively, but after the hour Khadija Shaw buried one penalty and then another late on to seal the result at the Joie.
Brighton 1–0 Everton — Agyemang Strikes to Edge It
Brighton sealed three points thanks to Michelle Agyemang’s first-half finish, and from there the hosts managed the moments smartly. Everton had territory and a late flurry, but Brighton’s organisation and handling under pressure saw them home for a tidy one-goal win.
Leicester 1–2 Tottenham — Holdt & Tandberg Do the Damage
Spurs seized control with two crisp first-half goals — Cathinka Tandberg’s breakthrough followed by Olivia Holdt’s composed finish. Leicester halved the deficit before the interval through Sam Tierney to set up a nervy second half, but Tottenham’s structure without the ball carried them to a hard-earned away victory.
West Ham 0–4 Chelsea — Ruthless Blues Stay Perfect
Chelsea blitzed the opening period with three goals in seven minutes — Aggie Beever-Jones, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Erin Cuthbert — before West Ham went down to ten after Inès Belloumou’s red card. Wieke Kaptein added a late fourth to cap a commanding performance that keeps the champions perfect.
