Hayley Ladd and Vilde Boe Risa got the goals which propelled Marc Skinner's side to all three points and into fifth place in the standings - leapfrogging West Ham United Women after they were held by Everton Ladies.

FA Cup winners Chelsea Women suffered a setback in their bid for title glory, though, as Reading Women claimed a 1-0 win on Saturday night for their fourth victory from five games.

Leaders Arsenal Women took advantage to move four points clear at the top courtesy of a 4-0 thumping of Leicester Women, who remain without a single point this season.

Tottenham Hotspur Ladies ended their own winless run by beating Aston Villa Women 2-1, while Manchester City Women scraped past Birmingham City Women 3-2 thanks to Ellen White's 89th-minute winner.
