The business end of the season is here and two more Women's Super League games took place on Sunday afternoon.
After Manchester United were held to a draw and Liverpool picked up a win on Saturday, Manchester City, Everton, Aston Villa and Tottenham were among the sides in action.
Here's how the action unfolded...
Scorers: Patten 30', Salmon 56', Naz 65', Morris 70', Hanson 90+1'
It was a game of two halves at Brisbane Road as Tottenham clawed their way back from two goals down, only to lose 3-2 against Aston Villa in the dying stages.
Anna Patten put the visitors ahead in the first half when Lucy Staniforth’s free kick was pushed onto the crossbar by the goalkeeper and dropped back into play, allowing the defender to head home.
Villa then doubled their advantage after the break, with Rachel Daly and Ebony Salmon combining to create the second, but Jess Naz quickly turned the game on its head by pulling one back for Spurs.
Once the first goal came, the second soon followed as the momentum was well and truly with Spurs, and Ella Morris got to a long ball ahead of Villa goalkeeper Sabrina D'Angelo to find the back of the net.
The game appeared destined to end in a draw, until Villa substitute Kirsty Hanson slid a low finish into the bottom corner to clinch it at the death and take her team a step closer to WSL safety.
Scorers: Casparij 13', Holmgaard 33'
It took just 13 minutes for City to open the scoring against Everton, with Kerstin Casparij starting and finishing the move before holding up Mary Fowler’s shirt in celebration, following confirmation earlier in the week that the 22-year-old had suffered an ACL injury.
Everton showed their resilience, though, as the Holmgaard twins combined to provide the Toffees with an equaliser before the break, with Sara’s cross headed in at the back post by Karen.
There was far less goalmouth action in the second half but it was Everton who came closest to scoring as the Holmgaards almost combined again in an identical move, though this time Karen's header missed the target.
The result leaves City fourth in the table, seven points behind third-placed United, with only the top three qualifying for next season's Champions League.
