Sam Kerr, Lucy Bronze: The standout stars from the WSL this weekend

It was another thrilling weekend in the Women’s Super League, with results impacting both the top and bottom of the table.

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of WSL with a comfortable 3-0 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion, while Chelsea kept up the pressure on the Gunners with a last-minute win against Aston Villa.

Manchester City overcame Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 in a significant result in the race for the top three, with Manchester United also boosting their chances of a Champions League spot by defeating Reading 3-1.

Birmingham look set to be relegated following a 1-0 loss to West Ham, despite Leicester remaining second from bottom after falling 3-2 to Everton.

GiveMeSport Women selects six standout stars from the WSL action this weekend.

Stina Blackstenius was the inspiration behind Arsenal’s emphatic win against Brighton, slotting home the opening goal from a Caitlin Foord pass into the box.

She then linked up with Foord again for Arsenal’s third goal, burying a glancing header into the back of the net.

Blackstenius has now scored four goals in her past five games for the Gunners, having joined the club in January. The 26-year-old will be crucial if Arsenal are to remain at the top of the WSL table.
