WSL Roundup: United Shock City; Chelsea, Arsenal Keep Winning; Madrid Slip Up

The Women's Super League (WSL) has woken from its winter slumber and the big result was Manchester United's first league win (4-2) over their rivals amid a frantic 90 minutes that saw six goals, including a hat trick for Ella Toone. Elsewhere, Arsenal claimed their first win of Renee Slegers' era as permanent manager in a 5-0 dismantling of Crystal Palace, while Chelsea also five past West Ham. Tottenham picked up a useful three points with a 1-0 win over Leicester City, Aston Villa were denied a win vs. Everton when Veatriki Sarri's late equaliser cancelled out Rachel Daly's opener, and Liverpool wrapped up all three points against Brighton with a less-than-comfortable 2-1 win.

It was a shaky weekend for the top three in Liga F, with both Real Madrid and Atletico dropping points. Having taken the lead against Levante, Atleti were pegged back just before the hour and finished with a 1-1 draw, while Real Madrid suffered an unexpected 1-0 loss at home to Eibar. Leaders Barcelona managed to keep their 100% record going with a 2-0 win over Athletic Club, but it took until the 90th minute before Alexia Putellas finally found the breakthrough and Vicky López added a swift second.

In Serie A, Roma revitalised their title hopes with a 3-1 win over Juventus, but Emma Severini's penalty against Sassuolo was only enough to claim a point for Fiorentina. Finally, in France, Lyon got back to winning ways with a 2-0 win over PSG at the Parc des Princes in a less-than-memorable game.
