Tottenham 1-4 London City Lionesses (Pelova 54 Van de Donk 52) A goal apiece at Brisbane Road. Danielle van de Donk slid London City Lionesses into a 4-0 lead before Victoria Pelova released a teeny-tiny bit of Spurs’ frustration with a crisp left-foot finish. GOALS!

Aston Villa 1-0 Crystal Palace (Maritz 56) Brighton 3-1 Charlton (Seike 54) Aston Villa, managerless and hitherto winless in the WSL, have taken the lead against Crystal Palace through Noelle Maritz.

Renée Slegers says she has felt the full support of Arsenal’s board and praised her senior players for showing “monumental leadership” this week as she vows to find solutions to recent poor form before Sunday’s pivotal trip to Manchester City. One win in five matches has put Slegers under mounting pressure.

Arsenal let slip a two-goal lead to draw at Paris FC in the Women’s ­Champions League on Wednesday and in the WSL they have slipped seven points behind City, the ­leaders and defending champions, having scored only twice in their four league games. Slegers was in a determined mood on Friday, speaking of a “strong togetherness” at the club.

Asked whether she felt the full support of the board, she replied: “Yes, that’s what I felt. That’s been positive and that’s helped me. The club’s leadership has been really good and positive for me in this moment because everyone thinks this is a difficult time and this is not something that we want for the team and for the club.

“But the leadership from Clare Wheatley, the director of football, Rich Garlick, CEO, James King, director of football operations, Jodie Taylor, technical director has been superb. So I want to give everything back to the club. The underlying catalysts behind these events trace back to evolving structural dynamics across the Sports landscape.
