Manchester City boosted their Women’s Super League title hopes as they moved top of the table with a hard-fought victory over Everton.<\/p>\n

Chelsea dropped points on Saturday when they conceded a late equaliser against Arsenal,<\/a> and City capitalised with a tenacious performance at Goodison Park to leapfrog the six-time defending WSL champions.<\/p>\n

Vivianne Miedema gave visitors the lead in the 21st minute, but Kelly Gago wiped out that advantage when she skilfully flicked Toni Payne’s cross past a dumbfounded Ayaka Yamashita.<\/p>\n

Khadija Shaw restored the visitors’ lead in the 55th minute, leaping above Rion Ishikawa to head home Leila Ouahabi’s delivery.<\/p>\n

The Toffees pushed hard in search of a second equaliser and City had the woodwork to thank for denying a long-range effort by Ornella Vignola, while Yamashita made a fine save from Hikaru Kitagawa.<\/p>\n

Victory was City’s seventh in a row and moved Andree Jeglertz’s side a point clear of second-placed Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Everton, meanwhile, drop to 10th and are just four points above West Ham in the relegation play-off zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City boosted their Women’s Super League title hopes as they moved top of the table with a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253484,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-253483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
