Feb ⁠15 (Reuters) - Defender Millie Turner scored a 79th-minute winner ⁠as Manchester United beat London City Lionesses 2-1 ‌in the Women's Super League on Sunday, but they remain eight points behind rivals Manchester City, who thumped Leicester City 6-0 on ​Friday.

With six league games to play, ⁠City top the standings ⁠on 42 points with United second on 34, and reigning ⁠champions ‌Chelsea a point further back in third thanks to a comfortable 2-0 win at home ⁠to Liverpool.

The day's entertainment was to be ​found in Birmingham ‌and it had a distinctly Scandinavian feel as ⁠Norwegians Signe ​Gaupset, Cathinka Tandberg (twice) and Julie Blakstad all got on the scoresheet for visitors Tottenham Hotspur in a 7-3 thrashing ⁠of Aston Villa.

The win moves Spursup ​to fifth spot, level with fourth-placed Arsenal on 29 points after the Gunners' game away to Brighton & Hove Albion ⁠was called off due to a waterlogged pitch.

Everton made sure there was no let-up for West Ham United's woes with a 1-0 win at home over the ​Londoners to leave the Hammers 10th ⁠in the 12-team league on 11 points, one ahead ​of Liverpool and two ahead of ‌Leicester, with the bottom side ​facing a relegation playoff at the end of the season.
