Arsenal moved into third place after recovering from going a goal down in their 2-1 win over Manchester City thanks to strikes from Beth Mead and Danielle van de Donk in Alex Scott’s final home game for the club. The hosts were almost ahead in the eighth minute when Jordan Nobbs controlled the ball 20 yards out and struck a powerful half-volley but Karen Bardsley in the City goal reacted to palm it over. The Dutch international then ran to embrace her soon-to-be retiring team-mate Scott on the bench. City should have shared the points but substitute Izzy Christiansen failed to convert a cross from the right-wing despite being five yards out and unmarked, instead sending her header wide of the goal. Winless Yeovil Town were once again defeated despite holding out for 62 minutes before Lauren Hemp and Yana Daniels scored to give Bristol City a 2-0 victory.
