On Monday, Veerle Buurman's stunning late strike helped Chelsea overcome Spurs.

The 19-year-old struck with a fierce effort that beat Spurs goalkeeper Lize Kop in the 86th minute, ensuring Sonia Bompastor's side still have a chance of rescuing a disappointing season.

Eveliina Summanen's cross earlier deceived Hannah Hampton to get the visitors back on level terms seven minutes into the second half, after Sam Kerr's header had put the Blues ahead five minutes before the interval.

Manchester City then edged second-tier Birmingham thanks to Shaw's goal after eight minutes.

Iman Beney played a fine ball in behind and Shaw reacted quickest to slot past goalkeeper Lucy Thomas.

Thereafter, the leaders of the second tier fought bravely to stay in the game, though it was City that came closest to scoring a second, Thomas brilliantly turning the ball against the bar in the second half from Yui Hasegawa's stinging shot.
