WSL talking points as Reading snatch crucial three points and Tottenham run riot

mirror.co.uk, 30 October 2022, 19:20
Reading edged past Leicester in their early season six-pointer, Spurs put eight past Brighton on the south coast while Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea also racked up victories Rowe, 30, proved the matchwinner for the Royals in Berkshire

Rachel Rowe's last-gasp brace fired Reading to a precious 2-1 win over Leicester in their early season Barclays Women's Super League six-pointer.

Natasha Flint looked to have led the Foxes to a first win of the season in a nervy clash between two sides. The striker broke the deadlock on 36 minutes when she drove low past the keeper from outside the box having been found superbly by Shannon O'Brien.

But as the seconds ebbed away Rowe's corner crept in through bodies to level terms. Shortly after, she then jinked into space and fired past Kirstie Levell to spark pandemonium.

Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur ran riot on the south coast with a thumping 8-0 win over Brighton. Molly Bartrip opened the scoring after 62 seconds, the fastest goal in the league this season, with Ashleigh Neville, Drew Spence and Jessica Naz helping themselves to braces.

Matt Beard's Liverpool tested a top team once more as Manchester City needed substitute Hayley Raso's second-half strike to graft out a 2-1 victory.

Khadija Shaw finished coolly for her 15th goal in 14 league games but that was cancelled out when Alex Greenwood coughed up possession for Katie Stengel to level. Raso, though, broke the Reds' resistance on 66 minutes by firing a rebound the roof of the net.

Meanwhile Lionesses star Lauren James opened her account for the season with two goals that helped Chelsea shake off Aston Villa 3-1. With manager Emma Hayes watching on, the Lionesses star netted either side of Rachel Daly's fourth league goal of the season.

Sam Kerr's emphatic finish earned the Blues a fifth straight win as they kept pace with early leaders Manchester United.

United cruised to a 3-0 win over Everton thanks to goals from former Toffee Nikita Parris, Leah Galton and Hayley Ladd. That makes Marc Skinner's side the first since Manchester City 2016 to win their first five games of the season without conceding.
