Arsenal's slim Women's Super League title chances were effectively ended as 16-year-old substitute Issy Hobson's stoppage-time equaliser earned Everton a 1-1 draw at Walton Hall Park.

Alessia Russo had put the third-placed Gunners ahead 10 minutes from time, slotting in the follow-up after Toffees goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan had blocked Beth Mead's shot with her leg.

But the hosts equalised through Hobson in the fifth added minute, the teenager nodding the ball past Gunners keeper Manuela Zinsberger to become the youngest goalscorer in WSL history.

The draw left Jonas Eidevall's side, with two games left to play, five points behind leaders Manchester City, ahead of the table-toppers' trip to Bristol City.

Leicester 0-1 Manchester United

Ella Toone's stunning late winner gave fourth-placed Manchester United a 1-0 victory at Leicester.

Toone came off the bench to settle a contest that United had enjoyed the better of seven minutes from time.

Yuka Momiki had hit a post for the visitors before Toone found the top corner of the Leicester net from long range.

Aston Villa 1-1 West Ham

Alisha Lehmann struck against her former club - and against the run of play - to put Villa ahead after 72 minutes.

The Hammers equalised in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Shannon Cooke met Riko Ueki's centre and the ball trickled through the legs of Villa goalkeeper Sophia Poor.

Crystal Palace will be playing in the WSL next season after rubber-stamping their promotion from the Championship.
