Chelsea breezed past West Ham United at Victoria Road to move to the top of the Women's Super League table, albeit having played a game more than champions Manchester City, who entertain Arsenal later on Sunday afternoon. The visitors had to work hard for their victory and it wasn't until eight minutes before half-time that they finally broke through, as Melvine Malard found the bottom corner with a composed finish. The Hammers continued to frustrate Sonia Bompastor's side after the interval, but Keira Walsh fired home from the edge of the box with just 10 minutes to go, and Maika Hamano added a far-post header with three minutes left to maintain Chelsea's unbeaten start.
London City Lionesses rubberstamped their WSL title race credentials with an emphatic 6-1 win over Tottenham. In-form Spurs were unbeaten in the top-flight going into the game but were completely blown away, with Alexia Putellas scoring twice. Putellas took just three minutes to get on the scoresheet, slamming home a rebound. Kadidiatou Diani tapped in a second, and Putellas swept in a third from a corner. Julie Blakstad had Spurs' only chance of the first half when her free-kick was tipped onto the bar. After the break, Lucia Corrales tapped in Diani's cross, and though Victoria Pelova pulled one back for Spurs, Diani got her second after a goalkeeping error, and Delphine Cascarino added a sixth.
Ruby Mace responded to her England snub in perfect fashion by scoring twice in Everton's 2-1 win over Birmingham. After being controversially left out of Sarina Wiegman's Lionesses squad, Mace gave the England boss some regrets early on as she finished well from inside the box.
