Chelsea continue record run

-

LEADERS Chelsea extended their unbeaten run in the Women’s Super League to 33 games with a comprehens­ive 4-0 win over London rivals Tottenham.

Germany internatio­nal Melanie Leupolz scored twice, while

Abbie McManus scored an own goal before Matildas skipper Sam Kerr headed home her ninth league goal of the season.

First-half goals from Ella Toone and Christen Press earned Manchester United a 2-0 win at Everton and kept them level on points with Chelsea.

Toone put the visitors ahead in the ninth minute with her sixth WSL goal of the season, with

Press capitalisi­ng on a defensive error to extend United’s lead.

Manchester City scored twice in each half as they brushed aside West Ham 4-0 at the Academy Stadium.

First-half strikes from Caroline Weir and Georgia Stanway put City in control before an Ellen White header and Rose Lavelle’s first WSL goal sealed a comfortabl­e victory.

Third-placed City made a host of changes in the final stages which slowed their momentum as they remained five points behind the leading pair.

The game between Aston Villa and Arsenal was postponed due to a waterlogge­d pitch.
