HAYLEY LADD’S diving header maintained leaders MANCHESTER UNITED’S 100 per cent record on the road.

Leah Galton was also on target in the 2-1 win at READING that extended United’s unbeaten start.

Jess Fishlock’s deflected shot brought Reading level but they could not cope with a corner late on, allowing Ladd to pounce (above).

Champions CHELSEA remain three points behind in second thanks to a 1-0 win at BRIGHTON.

Sam Kerr’s header from Pernille Harder’s first-half cross extended their unbeaten league run to 29 matches.

Brighton came close to equalising when Inessa Kaagman hit the bar.

MANCHESTER CITY’S title hopes remain strong after Caroline Weir’s lastgasp goal gave them a deserved 2-1 win at home to ARSENAL.

Vivianne Miedema fired the Gunners ahead early on before Sam Mewis headed in Chloe Kelly’s corner.

Weir’s stoppage-time strike saw City move to within a point of the Gunners, who are in third place and four points off top.

Alex Morgan scored another penalty as TOTTENHAM saw off ASTON VILLA 3-1.

American superstar Morgan, who scored one against Brighton last week, put Spurs ahead before Nadine Hanssen chipped in an equaliser from distance.

Spurs regained the lead when Morgan’s low cross went in off Villa defender Caroline Siems and Roselle Ayane’s deflected effort wrapped victory.

Spurs have now won two out of two in the league under new head coach Rehanne Skinner.

Winless BRISTOL CITY were thumped 4-0 at home by fellow strugglers WEST HAM.
