A single early goal from Courtney Sweetman-Kirk was enough to give Liverpool a narrow 1-0 win away at West Ham, the first time the Reds have won back-to-back WSL games this season.
It was more misery for Yeovil this weekend after a fifth consecutive defeat saw them remain rock bottom of the standings with no points. Two goals from Scottish midfielder Lucy Graham gave Bristol City a 2-1 win in the west country derby.
Everton were the team not in action this week. The Toffees are yet to win so far this season, although they have one game, or in several cases two, in hand on everyone else.

The second tier Women's Championship has a new leader after the free scoring Manchester United did not play this weekend. Instead, Tottenham now lead the way after in the hunt for promotion after an 8-0 annihilation of Millwall continued their 100% winning start.
