Follow all the action from Leigh Sports Village Stadium
Women’s Super League leaders Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 on Sunday to stay top of the standings and move within touching distance of a fourth straight league crown, but Manchester United have not yet given up the chase.
The Red Devils ensured the race will go to the final day next weekend by beating Manchester City 2-1 with a stoppage-time goal from Lucia Garcia, leaving Chelsea two points clear of United on 55 points with one round of games remaining.
The Blues also have the edge over United in goal difference and their fate will be in their own hands when they visit relegation-threatened Reading in their last game next Saturday.
