Manchester City came from behind to beat Manchester United 3-1 at Old Trafford to leapfrog them into third place. Melvine Malard’s shot was handled by Alex Greenwood in the box and Katie Zelem converted the penalty, despite Khiara Keating getting a hand to it. Geyse had the ball in the net for United but it was ruled out, and before long her team were behind. Chloe Kelly found Jill Roord to slot home the equaliser and seconds later Lauren Hemp curled home a shot set up by Khadija Shaw. City went 3-1 up when Shaw charged down Mary Earps’ attempted clearance and although they were down to ten players with the dismissal of Laia Aleixandri, the hosts could not take advantage.

Brighton & Hove Albion went down 3-0 at home to Arsenal in front of a sell-out crowd at Crawley. Stina Blackstenius spun to fire the Gunners in front, despite making no contact with the ball in her first attempt. Caitlin Foord sealed the points with ten minutes to go, drilling into the far corner from 20 yards out. In stoppage time, Russo’s cross was set back by Cloe Lacasse for Frida Maanum to finish clinically, as Arsenal moved back within three points of leaders Chelsea.
