Liverpool secured their first Women's Super League victory of the season on the 13th matchday, scoring twice in stoppage time to beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0. Mia Enderby was instrumental, having a hand in both goals, with the opener deflected off Toko Koga before Enderby slotted home. Manager Gareth Taylor praised his side's high-intensity approach, saying they 'looked more like what we wanted to be'. The win lifts Liverpool off the bottom and keeps them in touch with the relegation battle.
At the top of the table, Chelsea's title hopes suffered a blow as they lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal. Arsenal head coach Renée Slegers hailed her team's ability to deliver under pressure, but noted that five draws this season have left them ten points behind leaders Manchester City. The Gunners need to find consistency earlier in matches to challenge for a first title in seven years.
Manchester City extended their lead to nine points with a 2-1 win at London City Lionesses, thanks to a late strike from Bunny Shaw. The Jamaica forward continues to average a goal per game and has scored nearly twice as many as any other player in the division. City look capable of grinding out results even when not at their best, with Shaw proving the difference.
At the bottom, West Ham United secured their first away league win of the season, beating Leicester City 2-1. Goals from Verena Hanshaw and Shekiera Martinez gave the Hammers a deserved victory under interim manager Rita Guarino. Meanwhile, Everton's home struggles continued as they lost 1-0 to Brighton, their sixth league defeat at Goodison Park this season. The Toffees lacked creativity and a focal point in attack, managing just 41 successful passes in the final third compared to Brighton's 100.
