Leicester 0-5 Arsenal

Vivianne Miedema scored twice in a second-half flurry of goals as Arsenal shook off their Champions League exit to reclaim top spot in the WSL table before Chelsea host Reading later on Sunday.

Beth Mead’s volley put the Gunners ahead at half-time, before Miedema struck in the 67th and 75th minutes to secure the victory. Ashleigh Plumptre turned a cross into her own net four minutes later, before Tobin Heath got the fifth goal late on.

Manchester United kept up their push for a Champions League place with a 1-0 win over Brighton. Leah Galton scored the second-half winner in a hard-fought contest to help United move three points clear of Manchester City in third place.

Tottenham are 10 points behind United as their faint hopes of European football suffered a blow in a surprise home defeat to Aston Villa. Ramona Petzelberger scored the winner for Carla Ward’s side with three minutes left on the clock.
