Manchester City defeated Everton 2-1 to climb to the top of the Women's Super League table.

City picked up where they left off in their first match since defeating Chelsea last month, with goals from Khadija Shaw and Lauren Hemp taking them three points clear of Emma Hayes’ side, who play Leicester on Sunday.

It is now 12 victories in a row in all competitions for Gareth Taylor’s City, who were pegged back by a fine strike from Hanna Bennison but deserved the three points.

Chelsea will have a chance to go back level on points with Man City when they travel to Leicester City on Sunday evening.

Before that, third-placed Arsenal will host North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium, with Bristol City v Brighton and West Ham v Manchester United completing the Sunday schedule.
