🔵 Chelsea edge Man City; Wins for Man United, Leicester and West Ham
The Women's Super League weekend continued with four games on Sunday.
Here's how the action unfolded.
West Ham down Tottenham
Scorers: Rybrink OG 16', Asseyi 90'
West Ham took the spoils from the London derby with a 2-0 win over Tottenham.
Verena Hanshaw put the hosts ahead after barely a quarter of an hour with a low drive inside the penalty area which Josefine Rybrink's deflection helped home.
The Hammers assured victory at the end of normal time when Vivianne Asseyi's free kick eluded everyone to nestle into the far corner of Lize Kop's net.
Rehanne Skinner's side have now leapfrogged the Lilywhites into eighth.
Chelsea complete comeback at Man City
Scorers: Kerolin 32'; Beever-Jones 50', Cuthbert 90+1'
Manchester City and Chelsea cancelled each other out in a 1-1 draw.
The teams had met twice in the run-up to their clash at the Etihad Stadium with the visitors winning the League Cup final but losing their UWCL quarter final first leg.
Kerolin handed Nick Cushing's side the lead midway through the first half with a superb solo run before cutting a low finish past a rooted Hannah Hampton.
But the Blues drew level shortly after the interval as Aggie Beever-Jones met Johanna Rytting Kaneryd's cutback to sweep the ball home.
Cool. Calm. Collected. 🥶

Chelsea then grabbed the winner in second-half injury-time as Erin Cuthbert met Ashley Lawrence's cross inside the six-yard box and headered into the net.
City and Chelsea face off again in the return leg of their UWCL encounter on 27 March.
Foxes survive late Brighton rally
Scorers: O'Brien 11', Takarada 35', McLauchlan OG 45+5; Madison Haley 73', Kirby 81'
Leicester held off a late Brighton recovery to defeat the Seagulls 3-2.
Shannon O'Brien broke the deadlock early on for the hosts at the King Power Stadium by firing an effort from distance into the bottom corner.
The Foxes doubled their lead later in the first half when Saori Takarada volleyed in from close range.
Brighton found themselves 3-0 down at half time when defender Rachel McLauchlan bundled into her own net from Hannah Cain's cross.
The Seagulls pulled a goal back with 20 minutes remaining as Madison Haley drilled a low shot from the edge of the area past Janina Leitzig.
Leicester were awarded a late penalty and Melina Loeck saved Yūka Momiki's spot-kick.
There was more late drama as Brighton won a penalty of their own and Fran Kirby curled into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
Leicester eventually held firm to earn a welcome three points as the Foxes moved six points clear of Crystal Palace in 12th.
Man United put for past Villa
Scorers: Terland 22', 32', Clinton 45', Galton 64'
Man United made a bright start and took an early lead through Elisabeth Terland's poked finish from Celin Bizet's pass.
Terland added to her tally 10 minutes later and met Jayde Riviere's cross with a thumping header into the net.
The Red Devils went into half time with a three-goal advantage when Grace Clinton won the ball in midfield and lobbed Sabrina D'Angelo from 40 yards out.
Leah Galton added a fourth for United mid-way through the second period after finishing Melvine Malard's pass from close range.
Marc Skinner's side responded positively after a 3-1 loss at Liverpool last weekend and victory over Villa takes United level on points with second-placed Arsenal.
