Manchester City 2-0 Reading

Fisk frustrates Red Devils
Ella Toone fired Manchester United ahead nine minutes after the restart at West Ham with a close-range overhead kick.
But three minutes into added time, Grace Fisk headed Katerina Svitkova’s corner in off the post.
The draw left the Red Devils in the last Champions League place but now within striking distance of Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Cityzens break Royals resistance
Manchester City had to be patient for their victory over Reading, which lifted them above Spurs into fourth spot and within three points of Manchester United.
Royals keeper Grace Moloney made several saves, including parrying a Caroline Weir effort and did turning away a Kadija Shaw strike.
City had to wait until the last 17 minutes to make the breakthrough, when Demi Stokes scored with a powerful hit.
Lauren Hemp then sealed the win with six minutes to go, following up Ellen White’s effort on goal.
Blues close in on Gunners
Chelsea scored three times in the opening half-hour at Everton, to close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points from one game fewer.
The Blues were ahead in the seventh minute, when Sam Kerr stooped to glance in a header from Sophie Ingle’s cross.
Guro Reiten thumped the second past Courtney Brosnan and Erin Cuthbert hit the top corner from outside the box, in a first half which Chelsea dominated.
