Arsenal struggle to make headway in title chase despite late wins, while Manchester City solidify their grip on the top spot.
The Gunners finally broke their winless streak with a 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but it may have been too little, too late for them to mount a serious title challenge. Despite several key players being absent through injury and suspension, Arsenal's team showed a lot of strength when the moment mattered, as manager Renée Slegers said in praise of her side. However, five draws already this season have done significant damage to their chances, leaving them 10 points behind leaders Manchester City.
Manchester City moved further away from their closest rivals with a 2-1 win at London City Lionesses, thanks in large part to Bunny Shaw's late strike. The Jamaica striker has been averaging a goal per game so far this season and is now on track for a trophy haul of individual awards. Her goals often prove crucial when Manchester City need them most, leaving the team with a significant advantage over their competitors.
Liverpool ended their 13-match wait for a win, notching up three points in a thrilling stoppage-time victory at Tottenham Hotspur Women. The Reds had been searching for consistency all season but finally found it in this must-win encounter against an opponent who had previously beaten them. Goals from Toko Koga and Mia Enderby sealed the deal, leaving Liverpool within touching distance of their rivals West Ham, Leicester and Everton.
In contrast to their title contenders, Everton are still searching for home results that will lift their fans' spirits. The Toffees fell to a 2-1 defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion Women, failing to find the fire and focus needed in front of their own supporters. With a string of defeats this season, the club's fans have started to lose faith.
West Ham secured only their first league away win of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Leicester Women. The Hammers' tactical setup under Rita Guarino has finally turned the tide for the team, as goals from Verena Hanshaw and Shekiera Martinez helped secure a crucial three points.
Manchester United edged past Aston Villa Women 4-1, continuing their push for third place in the table. Despite struggling in their previous matches against Villa, United's squad depth proved to be the deciding factor in this high-intensity encounter.

. Bunny Shaw is on fire tho, that girl's gonna get some major awards at the end of the season. And Liverpool, oh man, 13 match wait for a win was no joke... Toko and Mia were on point! Can't say Everton are looking too promising though 
, need to bounce back from those losses ASAP.
. They've been on fire lately and Bunny Shaw is like a magician with that ball at her feet 
️
. But I gotta feel for Arsenal, they're giving it their all despite the setbacks. Renée Slegers' team showed so much heart and spirit when it counted most 
. Maybe next season? 
. They broke their winless streak which is a huge accomplishment but 5 draws already and 10 points behind City? That's not gonna cut it 
. And Shaw's goals are clutch, I love how she's averaging a goal per game right now 
. How's Arsenal gonna turn this around? They need to stay focused and healthy if they wanna make a push 
. I think they need to strengthen their squad, maybe sign some new players in the transfer window? It's hard to see them making up that gap now 
. Manchester City is just dominating everything right now 
. like city is just cruising along and Liverpool is finally gettin some wins after 13 matches, its about time lol. and dont even get me started on everton, cant believe dey cant even beat brighton 
they need 2 make more big changes if they wanna compete with man city 
renée slegers did good job but cmon 5 draws already? that's not gonna cut it 
meanwhile, bunny shaw is on fire 
and liverpool is back in the mix now 
gotta respect toko koga & miaenderby tho 
verena hanshaw & shekiera martinez are the real MVPs 
. They're still scoring goals for fun and their team dynamic is looking strong, but at what cost? Bunny Shaw's goals are always clutch, but it's also making people underestimate them a bit. What if they have a slip-up in the final stretch of the season? Meanwhile, Arsenal's performance was solid but it might be too little too late for them to mount a serious title challenge 
i feel like arsenal is just throwing away points left and right with those 5 draws already... 10 points behind manchester city is a huge gap to close! 
i'm loving bunny shaw's form though, she's literally the talisman for manchester city. her goals are so clutch! 
liverpool's win was insane, toko koga and mia enderby are on fire now! 
as for everton, their fans need to get back on board with the team, those losses are hurting... 
west ham's win was huge for them, rita guarino's tactical setup is really paying off. manchester united's squad depth is impressive, they're definitely in the hunt for third place now! 
! Arsenal is like, just barely holding on, and those five draws are killin' 'em 
. Bunny Shaw's goals are giving them an edge 
, but they're still not quite there yet 
. It's gonna be so interesting to see how this all plays out 
. And let's be real, Bunny Shaw is just a superstar – no need to get too hyped about individual awards just yet 
.
she's always saving the day for her team with those clutch goals. I'm low-key worried about Arsenal tho 
they need to get those wins ASAP or it'll be too late for them. Renée Slegers is like the best manager ever 
but even she can't magic away 10 points lol. Meanwhile, Manchester United and West Ham are killing it 
they've been on a roll for ages now! 
. We'll just have to keep an eye on these teams as the season wears on 
I mean, Renée Slegers is doin a great job with the team and all but it's hard not 2 say they've got some big roadblocks in their way 
. Manchester City just seems 2 be on another level right now 
! Those late wins might not be enough to catch up with City, you feel? 
. On the other hand, Manchester City is on fire 
. And on the flip side, Everton's struggles are a reminder that even when things aren't going well, we gotta keep faith with our teams and each other 
.
maybe its time for them to rethink their strategy or something?
