Another dramatic weekend of Women's Super League action is now complete and there is a new leader.
Sonia Bompastor's Chelsea secured a crucial victory over title rivals Manchester City to claim top spot, while Aston Villa and Everton claimed their first wins of the campaign. Brighton continued their bright start to the season and Arsenal closed the gap with a significant north London derby triumph.
Crystal Palace returned to the bottom on goal difference following their last-gasp defeat to Villa, while West Ham United and Leicester City also sit on the same number of points. But Manchester United put themselves within touching distance of the top three with a 2-0 win over Leicester.
