Manchester United's title hopes suffered a setback as they were held to a scoreless draw at home by Everton on Sunday, allowing Chelsea to replace them at the top of the Women's Super League table after a cracking 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur.
The Blues moved into first position on 31 points, two ahead of United and five ahead of Manchester City after 12 games. Arsenal, who are fourth on 25 points with two games in hand over the top three, take on West Ham United later on Sunday.
On a frustrating afternoon for United, Ella Toone hit the post in the first half as the home side created several good chances but Everton, fifth in the table, showed steely resolve to keep them at bay. The Toffees' Irish international keeper Courtney Brosnan combined some superb saves with the occasional slice of luck as she kept a clean sheet, with her best stop denying Katie Zelem midway through the second half.
