Manchester City stretched their Women's Super League lead to nine points with a dramatic 2-1 victory at London City Lionesses. Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw's 86th-minute winner capped a resilient performance, coming after Kerolin's early opener was cancelled out by Freya Godfrey.

The result came at a perfect time, following Chelsea's surprise defeat to Arsenal on Saturday. City's ability to grind out the win underlines their title credentials, especially after surviving a spirited second-half display from the hosts, who twice hit the bar.

Elsewhere, Liverpool secured their first league win of the season with a 2-0 victory over Tottenham. Mia Enderby scored twice in added time, lifting the Reds off the bottom and moving them within a point of West Ham as Spurs drop to fifth.
