Kim Little scores twice as Arsenal maintain 100 per cent WSL start with 4-0 rout of West Ham

Arsenal made it six wins from six in the Women’s Super League by downing West Ham 4-0 on Sunday.

Kim Little scored twice to hit 50 WSL goals and keep the Gunners top of the table, with Beth Mead’s strike and a late Grace Fisk own goal adding to the rout.

Earlier on Sunday, Ria Percival struck deep into stoppage time to give Tottenham a 1-1 draw with Manchester United, her free-kick from far out on the left sailing past everyone and bouncing into the net to grab an unlikely point.

Spurs host Arsenal in a North London derby next weekend with a Champions League trip to Denmark’s HB Koge up first for the Gunners on Wednesday.

Manchester City hammered Leicester 4-1 to leave the Foxes bottom of the standings with no points and fellow strugglers Birmingham City, who have amassed one point so far, were thumped 3-0 by Reading.

On Saturday a Sophie Ingle goal gave reigning champions Chelsea a 1-0 win over Aston Villa, and Brighton & Hove Albion beat Everton 1-0 thanks to a strike from Aileen Whelan.

The weekend’s results leave Arsenal top of the table on 18 points, with Chelsea second on 15 and Tottenham two points further back in third.
