LIVERPOOL :Manchester City climbed to the summit of the Women's Super League table for the first time this season, edging past Everton 2-1 in a gritty match on Sunday.

Khadija Shaw headed home the winner in the 55th minute after United's Kelly Gago had cancelled Vivianne Miedema's first-half goal, Miedema's 90th WSL goal.

The victory capped off a perfect weekend for Andree Jeglertz's side, who took full advantage of earlier slip-ups by title rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.

A day earlier, Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by Arsenal while Manchester United's title push suffered a setback when they fell to their first defeat of the league season by losing 1-0 at home to Aston Villa.
