Lisa Naalsund fires home for Manchester United

Lisa Naalsund scored a second-half double as Manchester United beat Liverpool 3-1 in the Women's Super League.

The Norwegian midfielder sent United ahead in the 52nd minute before Alice Bergstrom levelled for the struggling Reds, for whom Republic of Ireland midfielder Denise O'Sullivan played the full game.

However, Naalsund's second on the hour came just 97 seconds after that equaliser and Frida Rolfo sealed victory three minutes from time to extend United's unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions and leave Liverpool at the foot of the table.

Tottenham are one point away from the top three after coming from behind to beat West Ham 2-1.

Shekiera Martinez had initially 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.

Spurs are seven points ahead of London City Lionesses in the table after Freya Godfrey's winner saw them snatch a 2-1 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.

Martina Fernandez's brace ensured Everton came from behind to beat Aston Villa 2-1.

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.
