WSL roundup: Leicester stay bottom after lead turns into loss against Villa

The Story So Far

West Ham United Women’s position in the Women's Super League was bolstered following recent results. Bottom-placed Leicester City failed to move ahead of the Hammers on goal difference after surrendering an advantage to Aston Villa. Although the hosts led at the break, a clinical second-half turnaround inspired by substitute Ebony Salmon resulted in a 2-1 loss for the home side. This outcome leaves the bottom team three points adrift of survival after seventeen matches. Elsewhere, a scoreless draw between Brighton and Liverpool further impacted the relegation landscape as the season enters its final stages, keeping the East London club clear of the basement.
