Everton moved up to sixth with a late win against fifth-placed Spurs. Yuka Momiki found the far bottom corner shot from outside the box early on. Signe Gaupset squeezed in an equaliser inside the far post in the 75th minute. But Everton restored their advantage as Inma Gabarro laid it on a plate for Kelly Gago.
Liverpool won the basement battle with Leicester City to climb to 10th and leave the Foxes two points adrift at the foot of the table. Beata Olsson scored from close range following a Mia Enderby delivery. Aurélie Csillag was fouled in the box by Julie Thibaud and Ceri Holland converted from the spot to seal the victory.
