WSL round-up: Liverpool and Leicester make it two wins from two with Spurs and West Ham also earning victories
Leicester made it two wins from two to start the season, hanging on to beat Everton 1-0.
Lena Petermann got her second of the season when she fired the ball past Emily Ramsey in the 70th minute, before Everton were awarded a potential equalizer late on when Emma Bissell was ruled offside.
Robert Vilahamn claimed his first victory in charge of Tottenham by beating promoted Bristol City 3-1.
First-half goals from Olga Ahtinen, Martha Thomas and Eveliina Summanen put the hosts in control at Brisbane Road, with Amalie Thestrup pulling one back from the penalty spot after the break.
It was Tottenham’s first points of the season following last week’s defeat at Chelsea, while Bristol City remain without a point from their opening two matches.
West Ham finally got one against Brighton as goals from Kirsty Smith and Riko Ueki secured a 2-0 victory at Broadfield Stadium.
The Seagulls had won six in a row against the Hammers, but were no longer able to play at the end of this series.
Liverpool beat Aston Villa 2-0 late on to join Leicester on six points and leave the visitors useless after their first two games of the season.
Marie-Thérèse Hobinger opened the scoring with a superb finish in the 21st minute, finding the top corner after Villa could only half clear Ceri Holland’s cross.
Emma Kovisto then showed why Liverpool have yet to concede this season, blocking Jordan Nobbs’ shot off the line.
