WSL roundup: Five-star Chelsea stay top, Manchester United edge Brighton

Chelsea Women retained their position at the top of the Women's Super League standings with a 5-0 thumping of Reading Women in Sunday's battle.

Sam Kerr was unsurprisingly among the goals for Emma Hayes's side - netting twice on the day - while Bethany England also bagged a brace following Jessie Fleming's opener.

Chelsea's win came after Arsenal Women briefly rose to the summit with a 5-0 thumping of their own over Leicester City Women, with Jonas Eidevall's side one point behind the Blues at the top.

Manchester United Women's bid for a podium finish gathered momentum as Leah Galton struck the only goal in a 1-0 success over Brighton & Hove Albion Women - one day after Manchester City Women put two unanswered goals past West Ham United Women.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur Ladies suffered their second defeat on the bounce with a 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa Women, while Birmingham City Women and Everton Ladies played out a goalless stalemate during a weekend in which at least one team recorded a clean sheet in each game.
