Sam Kerr struck a last-gasp winner to give Chelsea a vital victory over Aston Villa as they seek to retain their Women’s Super League title.
The Australian star stabbed home in the 92nd minute to earned a 1-0 victory after the Blues had wasted a host of opportunities, frustrated by Hannah Hampton in the Villa goal.
The result saw Emma Hayes’ side close the gap to leaders Arsenal to five points and, with two games in hand, keeps their fate in their own hands.
Caroline Weir’s second-half strike was the difference as Manchester City made it back-to-back league wins by beating Tottenham 1-0.
Weir came close to breaking the deadlock just after half-time when her free kick rattled the post and Spurs goalkeeper Beckie Spencer denied the visitors multiple times in the second half, making decisive punches and saves.
Spencer was called into action again in the 64th minute and parried away Raso’s cross, but the rebound fell to Weir who bundled the ball into the net.
West Ham moved up to sixth in the table after beating bottom side Birmingham 1-0.
The Hammers broke the deadlock four minutes from half-time when Katerina Svitkova’s corner found Adriana Leon at the back post and she poked home to give her side the lead.
Birmingham had a chance to equalise in the final stages but Veatriki Sarri’s free-kick flew over the bar.
