Bradford City are without a point but led at the break away at Derby through Falone Sumaili only for Stephanie Smith to level on 50 minutes and substitute Grace Harrison get the winner with the last kick as the Rams climbed two to fifth.
FT| @DerbycountyLFC win 2-1 in a game where City deserved at least a point.
Every one of the 13 players has left the field in tears but can be hugely proud of themselves.
🐓1-2🐑#bcwfc #FAWNL #WeAreNational— Bradford City WFC (@bcwfc) March 10, 2019
Second-placed Sunderland netted six at Nottingham Forest, Niamh McLaughlin and Keira Ramshaw with doubles, Katie Barker and Bridget Galloway also on the scoresheet.
Middlesbrough moved up two places to third with their 4-2 defeat of Stoke. Eleanor Dale struck twice in a ten-minute spell straddling the interval and completed her hat-trick before Tyler Doods made it 4-0 and Roisin Kivel pulled a couple back.
Southern Premier – Coventry on course
Coventry are closer to the title after putting six past C & K Basildon while Chichester went down 3-1 at home to Loughborough Foxes. Amy Wathan, Shannon O’Brien, Chenise Austin and Beth Merrick all found the net for the leaders, while the Foxes fought back after Jess Lewry’s opener with Rebecca Knight, Chloe Young and Laura Steele their scorers.
Cardiff increased their chances of taking the runners-up spot after some late drama at Plymouth, Cori Williams and Kylie Nolan netting for City in the last 10 minutes.
Portsmouth put four past MK Dons, Katie James, Jade Widdows, substitute Alex Collighan and Rachel Panting with one apiece.

Bedworth sent hosts Burton to a 7-1 defeat with Sophie Wilson claiming a hat-trick.
Northern Division 1 – Feds fightback
Liverpool Feds are a point behind fifth-placed Leeds having beaten them 2-1 away. United were ahead from Holly Findlay’s 25 yard strike but a wind-assisted Jen Rodgers effort soon levelled things up and Demi Devereaux won it on 54 minutes.
South East Division 1 – U’s end Wasps’ winning spree
Cambridge United were the first side to take points of Crawley Wasps when holding the leaders to a goalless draw.
The only other game in the division to survive the weather also finished 0-0 as next-to-bottom Denham took a point against Wimbledon.
South West Division 1 – Keynsham catching leaders
