WSL: Crystal Palace gain vital ground on Aston Villa in relegation duel
After Chelsea lifted the Women's League Cup on Saturday, there were just two fixtures in the WSL on Sunday.
Here's what happened.
Crystal Palace take big step forward in bid to avoid relegation
Scorers: Nouwen 33', Weerden 53', Stengel 90+5'; Parker 85'
Crystal Palace secured a 3-1 win over fellow relegation candidates Aston Villa.
The Eagles took the lead from a corner, Aniek Nouwen delivering a pin-point header to find the back of the net.
Their advantage was doubled early in the second half when Ashleigh Weerden let fly from the edge of the box, her shot slamming beyond Aston Villa 'keeper Shae Yáñez.
Lucy Parker pulled one back for Villa with five minutes remaining, but a stoppage time goal for Katie Stengel ensured that the home side took all three points.
That result closes the gap between these two sides at the bottom of the table to just two points.
Tottenham v Brighton
Scorers: Kirby 42'
