Chelsea reignited their Women's Super League title hopes with a 2-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur, thanks in part to goals from Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson. The victory lifted Sonia Bompastor's side nine points off leaders Manchester City, who had been beaten 1-0 by Arsenal earlier on Sunday.
The match, watched by none other than pop icon Madonna, saw Chelsea bounce back from two consecutive defeats. Goals from Walsh and Thompson - with the latter following up after Sjoeke Nüsken's shot was saved by Lize Kop - secured a deserved win for the visitors. The result keeps Tottenham fifth in the table, despite failing to capitalize on early momentum.
In other WSL action, Liverpool overcame Aston Villa 4-1 at Anfield, with Mia Enderby and Martha Thomas both scoring doubles. Jennifer Falk also denied Kirsty Hanson from equalizing as Villa fell to their third successive defeat.
West Ham staged a remarkable comeback against Brighton, coming from two goals down to win 3-2. Goals from Ffion Morgan, Shekiera Martínez, and Viviane Asseyi in the final eight minutes sealed a thrilling victory for Gareth Taylor's side. The result lifted West Ham above bottom-of-the-table Leicester, who had been beaten 2-0 by Manchester United on Saturday.
Everton secured a hard-fought 1-0 win over London City Lionesses, thanks to Inma Gabarro's goal in the second half. Goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan claimed the award for player of the match after making several crucial saves.

. I mean, they've been on a two-game losing streak and then BAM! They come back with a 2-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur? That's like finding the motivation to get out of bed when you're feeling completely drained 
. And let's be real, having pop icon Madonna in attendance doesn't hurt their vibes either 
. It's all about finding that spark and running with it 
. The fact that they went up nine points on Manchester City is just the cherry on top 
. I'm loving this resurgence from Chelsea! 
! I mean, that Madonna sighting is some major bragging rights, lol 
. They needed a win bad and this thrashing over Tottenham was just what they needed to get their confidence up again 
!
and Alyssa Thompson's finishing was spot on. It's like they've been missing a certain spark, but now they're firing on all cylinders 
and West Ham coming back from two down to win against Brighton? Mind. Blown. 
.
They really needed this win to boost their title hopes and now they're only 9 points behind Manchester City 
. I love how pop icon Madonna showed up to watch the match, must've been lit 
. And can we talk about Keira Walsh's goal? she's a total boss! 
️ Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson are on fire! 
I'm so hyped for West Ham's comeback win against Brighton, 2 goals down and they still managed to come from behind... that was insane 
Ffion Morgan and Shekiera Martínez were the stars of the show
