Aston Villa 0 - 6 Chelsea

Villa's poor start to the season continued on Saturday when they were knocked for six by Chelsea. Villa started the game strong but once Chelsea's first goal went in it was a case of not being able to contain them and Chelsea weren't holding back. Chelsea had 6 different goal scorers in total including captain Millie Bright who scored the first goal on her 250th appearance for the club. It was nice to see a mixture of scorers for the team however, something needs to change at Villa 5 games and 0 points is not what anyone expected to see.

Arsenal 2 - 1 Manchester City

Arsenal got a late winner in their big clash against Manchester City to bring them level on points with City at the end of week 5. Arsenal took the lead through Catley however, City pulled a goal back when Kelly found the back of the net. Arsenal took home all 3 points after a late goal from Blackstenius. Arsenal may have taken home all 3 points but the standout performer for us was City's young 'keeper Keating who saved a Little penalty and overall put in a fantastic performance, she is certainly going to be one to watch as at a young age she is already doing really well.

Tottenham 1 -1 Everton

I think it is safe to say Tottenham are doing really well this season even with captain England out through injury. Manchester United loanee Grace Clinton found herself on the score sheet for Tottenham once more and it looked like Spurs were going to hold on for all 3 points but a penalty converted by Galli in the 85th minute for Everton saw the points shared. The draw sees Tottenham sat 3rd on goal difference, which I don't think many of us expected and Everton's point sees them moving a bit further from the drop zone.

Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester 

Liverpool got back to winning ways with a victory over Leicester. Lawley gave Liverpool the lead in the 48th minute but Leicester found themselves level in the 57th minute through a Goodwin equalizer. Liverpool finally retook the lead in the 84th minute through Hobinger and managed to hold the lead for the remainder of the game. The win leaves Liverpool in 4th on goal difference again a position I don't think many of us fans expected to see them in.

West Ham 2 - 3 Bristol City

An influx of goals within the first half and an early one in the second half saw Bristol City finally get their first points of their return to the top flight. West Ham took the lead in the 27th minute through a Asseyi penalty but in the 32nd minuted Bristol drew level with a goal from Thestrup. In the 37th minute Florence Powell got Bristol's second goal and it looked like they were going into the break in the lead until in the 3rd minute of first half added time West Ham brought the scoreline level once more with a goal from Ueki. The score didn't stay level for long though as in the 55th minute Aspin put Bristol back in front once more. They managed to see the game out at 3-2 and the points move them away from the drop zone and will no doubt give them a confidence boost going into next weekends round of games.

Brighton 2 - 2 Manchester United

The final game of the weekend definitely had you on the edge of your seats. Manchester United just didn't look like their usual selves from the get go and Brighton weren't sitting back for this game. Sloppy play from United led to plenty of Brighton chances and they finally capitalised on them in the 30th minute when Terland gave Brighton the lead. United just didn't look like they were going to get back into the game but a spectacular Toone strike brought the score line level in the 78th minute. Both teams kept on pushing for a winner and it looked like Brighton had got it when Bergsvand headed the ball home in the 89th minute. It looked like all 3 points were staying with Brighton however, when the official held up the board for added time United seemed to kick things into gear a bit. It all looked over and done with until a brilliant corner found Williams in the 98th minute and she brought United level once more. Points might have been shared on the day but you can't help but think Brighton deserved all 3 points and United were just lucky.

Match week 5 was certainly a great one and it was nice to have the league back after the International break. This week though we are treated to both Continental cup action and League action with two trips to the Leigh Sports Village for us. It is bound to be another great week for women's football.
