Goals from Mayra Ramírez, Guro Reiten and Aggie Beever-Jones gave Chelsea a comprehensive 3-0 win away to Liverpool on Sunday to keep the pressure on Women's Super League (WSL) leaders Manchester City, who beat Tottenham Hotspur 4-0 on Friday.

City stay top on 19 points, one point ahead of Chelsea with the West London side having a game in hand, while Brighton & Hove Albion remain third on 13 points despite a 5-0 thrashing by Arsenal on Friday.

Ramirez gave Chelsea the lead in the 37th minute after Liverpool failed to clear a Johanna Rytting Kaneryd shot that hit the crossbar, and the Colombian blasted home the loose ball to break the deadlock.

Liverpool keeper Rachel Laws had a moment to forget five minutes later when Liverpool tried to play out from the back and her pass landed at the feet of Chelsea winger Reiten, who took a touch before sweeping the ball into the empty net.

Liverpool pressed Chelsea high up the pitch and pinned back their opponents, but substitute Beever-Jones netted in the 90th minute to wrap up the three points for the the league leaders.

In the other games later on Sunday, Crystal Palace are at home to bottom side Everton, while second-from-bottom West Ham United take on Leicester City and Manchester United host Aston Villa.
