WSL: Crystal Palace relegated; wins for Man City, West Ham and Brighton | OneFootball

The final weeks of the Women's Super League season are here and there has been some decisive fixtures at both ends of the table.

This weekend, Crystal Palace were staring down the barrel of relegation and needed to beat West Ham to keep their survival hopes alive, while Manchester City had a job to do to avoid missing out on Champions League qualification.

Recap the action below...

Manchester City secure narrow win at Leicester City

Scorers: Park 70'

Manchester City clinched a narrow 1-0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium to keep the chase for Champions League football alive.

Nick Cushing's side were in complete control throughout the first half, but they did little to test Foxes goalkeeper Janina Leitzig.

It took until the 70th minute, but City eventually broke the deadlock as Jess Park found space in the box and turned in a dangerous cross from Lauren Hemp.

The one goal was enough for City as they move within four points of Manchester United in third having played a game more than their rivals.

Brighton clinch last-gasp win at Everton

Scorers: Holmgaard 9’, Agyemang 21’, Snoeijs 23’, Kirby 44’, Parris 90+3'

The hosts opened the scoring at Walton Hall Park within the first 10 minutes, with Sara Holmgaard back on the scoresheet for Everton.

Brighton responded quickly, as on-loan Arsenal youngster Michelle Agyemang swept home an equaliser.

Everton regained the lead through Katja Snoeijs, but the Seagulls had another answer, with Fran Kirby firing them level again before the break.

After a flurry of goals in the first half, the second was far less hectic but it was Nikita Parris for Brighton who clinched the winner in added time to make it 3-2.

Crystal Palace relegated after West Ham thumping

Scorers: Martinez 18’, 42’, 45’, 62’, Asseyi 70’, Stengel (P) 80', Harries 86', 90+4

Crystal Palace needed a win today to avoid relegation from the WSL, but their hopes of taking the battle into the final month of the campaign quickly diminished when Shekiera Martinez fired the Hammers in front just before the 20-minute mark.

The hosts fought valiantly despite falling behind, but their efforts were in vain as Martinez added a second and third to complete her hat-trick before the break, leaving the Eagles with a mountain to climb in the second half.

If that wasn’t enough, Martinez added a stunning fourth just after the hour mark before Viviane Asseyi added the fifth for West Ham.

Katie Stengel scored for Palace from the penalty spot with 10 minutes left to play, but it was a mere consolation for the hosts as Emma Harries made it six and then seven for West Ham in the closing stages.

Liverpool held by Tottenham

Scorers: Román Haug 12', 51', Laws (OG) 25', Hunt 32'

Despite a positive start from Liverpool in St Helen's, following an early opener from Sophie Román Haug, the Reds were pegged back and trailed at half time after an own goal from Rachael Laws and strike at the back post from Clare Hunt.

A little over five minutes into the second half, Román Haug buried her second goal of the afternoon, this time meeting a corner from Marie Höbinger to level the scoreline.

In the remainder of the second half, which included 10 minutes of added time, neither side were able to add a third to clinch the victory and the points were ultimately shared following the 2-2 result.

Liverpool remain third in the table on 25 points, while Spurs sit ninth on 19.
