Arsenal kept the pressure on the Women's Super League's top two - Chelsea and Manchester City - with an important 1-0 win over Liverpool ahead of the winter break.
The Gunners move within a point of second-placed Man City, who lost to Everton earlier in the day, but still trail leaders Chelsea by seven points, as Renee Slegers' unbeaten run as interim boss stretches to ten games.
Alessia Russo scored the only goal of the game via a clever corner routine - to mirror their male counterparts' success from set-pieces - as Katie McCabe's front post delivery was poorly cleared by Gemma Bonner, allowing Russo to tap home.

Russo: Slegers makes me feel confident
Arsenal striker Alessia Russo:
"Set-plays are a massive part of football, they can win and lose you games, so I'm really happy to score and get three points.
"I'm feeling good, I play my best when I'm happy. We're finding good connections on the pitch and Liverpool away is a tough game, so the three points is most important.
"[Renee Slegers] has been great, making me feel confident. We know how good we are as a squad and we're keeping our heads down. We're happy as a squad, it's a club decision [whether Slegers makes her interim role permanent], but she's stepped up and we're really enjoying it."
