WSL round-up: Manchester United beat Liverpool to go second thanks to Lisa Naalsund double

Man Utd Women 3-1 Liverpool Women

Lisa Naalsund's second-half double helped Manchester United beat Liverpool as Marc Skinner's side moved up to second place in the Women's Super League.

The hosts' impressive display after half-time at the Leigh Sports Village keeps them on the toes of rivals Man City ahead of their home clash with champions Chelsea later on Sunday.

Liverpool had initially done an excellent job in frustrating United in the first period, before Naalsund's brilliant finish seven minutes after the break led to a flurry of goals, with the visitors immediately levelling matters thanks to Alice Bergstrom's close-range finish after a goal-line scramble.

However, United wasted little time in restoring their lead, albeit with a little help from their opponents who were caught in possession, before another fine Naalsund finish from the edge of the area.

And Skinner's team wrapped up the victory with just three minutes to go through substitute Fridolina Rolfo's improvised back-heel finish.

West Ham Women 1-2 Tottenham Women

Tottenham are one point away from the top three after coming from behind to beat West Ham.

Shekiera Martinez opened the scoring for the Hammers but Matilda Vinberg's superb top-corner strike from outside of the box levelled the score.

Olivia Holdt then found the winner for Tottenham with a fantastic first-time finish on the edge of the area, but the north London side finished with 10 players after Drew Spence was dismissed in stoppage-time.

Everton Women 2-1 Aston Villa Women

Martina Fernandez's brace ensured Everton came from behind to beat Aston Villa.

Ebony Salmon's top-corner effort sent Villa ahead but Everton responded through two thumping headers from Fernandez at the back post in either half.

Her double secured the Toffees' first WSL win at Goodison Park this season and they moved five points behind eighth-placed Villa in the table.

Brighton Women 1-2 London City Lionesses

Freya Godfrey's winner saw London City Lionesses snatch a win against Brighton.

Kiko Seike sent the Seagulls ahead with a brilliant finish with the outside of her boot but London City levelled through Moeka Minami's own goal.

Godfrey's strike just before the break sent London City to their sixth WSL win of the campaign and means they leapfrog Brighton in the table.
