Manchester City were ultimately made to pay for a poor start as Arsenal edged a seven-goal thriller to leapfrog their hosts in the table. The Gunners fired home twice in the first eight minutes, Mariona Caldentey scoring after taking the ball off Laia Aleixandri and Lotte Wubben-Moy turning in from a Kyra Cooney-Cross free kick.

Mary Fowler headed City back in it from a cross by Aoba Fujino and a crazy first ten minutes after the restart saw Vivianne Miedema level, Frida Leonhardsen Maanum immediately restore the lead, Fowler make it 3-3 from the spot when Steph Catley was judged to have taken Fujino down inside the box.

Chelsea had a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Aston Villa, where they survived a couple of major scares.

Villa’s Gabi Nunes was unable to chip Hannah Hampton with her goal wide open, Niamh Charles got a header all wrong in front of goal at the other end.

Kirsty Hanson hit the bar in a Villa breakaway, Hannah Hampton getting the smallest of touches to keep it out.

With eight minutes left, Mayra Ramirez drove the ball across the six-yard box and Sarah Mayling could only turn it into her own net.

Crystal Palace held ten-player Brighton to a draw with a late leveller, leaving the Eagles now just three points adrift at the bottom.

A Lily Woodham own-goal saw the Seagulls go one up but they were down to ten soon after the interval as Maisie Symonds saw red for violent conduct.

With two minutes of the 90 left, Woodham set up My Cato to equalise.
