Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Everton after an own goal by defender Lucy Bronze cost them the lead in the Women's Super League.

Bronze headed the ball back to set up Sandy Baltimore to score from close range in the 28th minute, but five minutes later her attempted clearance rolled into the net to equalise for Everton. The visitors held on for the draw as Chelsea dropped points for the first time since the opening day of the season.

Manchester City made the most of Chelsea's slip-up with a 5-0 demolition of West Ham. Jamaican striker Khadija Shaw scored a hat-trick, with Aoba Fujino and Iman Beney also on target. Shaw gave City the lead six minutes before half-time, then scored twice more after the interval as City ran riot. The victory took Manchester City above Chelsea to the top of the table.
