West Ham scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to earn a point against Manchester City.

Katrina Gorry saw her goal-bound effort early on blocked by City’s Gracie Prior, whose goalkeeper Ayaka Yamashita kept Seraina Piubel’s strike from outside the box from finding the bottom corner.

Kinga Szemik made a save to deny Lily Murphy, who had connected with a Jill Roord cutback.

Man City’s Laura Wienroither hit the crossbar before an 80th-minute breakthrough, when Vivianne Miedema helped on Mary Fowler’s cross and Khadija Shaw netted from close range.

But then in the first of four added minutes, Manuela Paví brought the hosts back on level terms with a curling shot into the bottom corner.

The result has the Hammers within a point of eighth-placed Everton from a game more and Manchester City a similar position in relation to Arsenal in third.

Chelsea were ahead in under 10 minutes, Catarina Macario’s central free kick deflecting off the wall with goalkeeper Janina Leitzig unable to keep the ball out.

Leicester’s Ruby Mace had to be stretchered off late in the first half but the Foxes were threatening an equaliser before the break.

The lead was doubled six minutes into the second half, Aggie Beever-Jones taking a touch from Mayra Ramirez’s back-heel before tucking the ball home.

Four minutes later Leicester replied, Asmita Ale with a perfectly-weighted ball through to Yuka Momiki who dinked a shot over Hannah Hampton and in.

Leitzig got a strong hand on a Wieke Kaptein strike and later a finger-tip to turn Erin Cuthbert’s 25-yard shot against the bar.

Cuthbert was soon having another go from a similar distance and this time found the far corner of the net to secure the win.

Chelsea move eight points clear of Manchester United in second having played a game more, Leicester stay six points off the relegation place.
