Manchester City slumped to a surprise 1-0 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the Women's Super League (WSL) on Sunday, while Chelsea eased to a 3-0 away win against Everton that sees Emma Hayes' side remain top of the table.

Chelsea faced no such problems at Everton, with Canada international Jessie Fleming making the most of a poor clearance to volley home her side's opener in the 14th minute, before Sam Kerr and substitute Agnes Beever-Jones added two more goals in the second half as the reigning champions coasted to a comfortable win.

In London, Norway international Celin Bizet scored a brilliant solo goal to give Tottenham Hotspur the lead over Liverpool but her international teammate Sophie Román Haug levelled in the 66th minute to grab a 1-1 draw for the visitors.

Manchester United registered five different goal-scorers in their 5-0 thrashing of West Ham United to go second in the table with 12 points after six games, four behind Chelsea and one ahead of Spurs and Liverpool.
