Chelsea secured a three-point lead in the FA Women's Super League after beating Reading 3-2 on Sunday, while Manchester City's derby against Manchester United ended in a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium.
Two goals from Jelena Cankovic and one from Fran Kirby handed Chelsea a 3-0 halftime lead but Scandinavian duo Sanne Troelsgaard Nielsen and Amalie Eikeland launched Reading's fightback shortly after the restart by scoring two goals in two minutes. However, Chelsea held on to secure the win.
With both sides desperate for a win to keep them in title contention, United's Martha Thomas came closest to netting a winner with a header, but Ellie Roebuck's lightning-fast reactions saved the day and the game ended in a draw.
