Arsenal secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Leicester in the Women's Super League, with Stina Blackstenius netting twice. Blackstenius also set up the opening goal, delivering a cross from Beth Mead that found Alessia Russo, who slotted the ball through a defender's legs. Arsenal maintained their dominance and doubled their lead after half an hour when Sari Kees scored an own goal following a cross from Russo. Blackstenius scored her first goal from a Mead assist and later added another after a brilliant pass from Chloe Kelly. Leicester managed a consolation goal through Noémie Mouchon, but Arsenal quickly restored their three-goal advantage. Arsenal remains in fifth place, while Leicester sits in tenth.
Meanwhile, Manchester United held on for a 2-1 win against Brighton. Jess Park stood out with a goal and an assist, continuing to impress following her transfer. United took the lead with a goal from Elisabeth Terland, despite offside controversy, and Park added a second after combining with Ella Toone. Brighton pulled one back through Fran Kirby, but United managed to secure the victory.
Everton fought back to earn a dramatic 3-3 draw with Aston Villa, thanks to a late goal from Kelly Gago. Everton took an early lead, but Villa turned the game around by halftime. However, Everton equalized before Villa regained the lead. Gago ensured a point for Everton with a goal in the 94th minute.
Tottenham defeated Liverpool 2-1, leaving the Reds without a point this season. Liverpool initially led through Beata Olsson, but goals from Toko Koga and Bethany England turned the match in Tottenham's favor. Liverpool remains off the bottom of the table on goal difference.
