Plymouth Argyle Women won a massive three points away to AFC Bournemouth in the FA WNL Southern Premier Division promotion race.
Burnley held a four-point lead over Wolves from a game more at the top of the Northern Premier Division as they scored five times at Derby County, and Wanderers did likewise at Loughborough.
Southern Premier Division leaders Watford hit Hashtag United for six to stay a point ahead of Plymouth, who grabbed a big three points at AFC Bournemouth thanks to late substitute Una Lue’s winner in added time. Argyle have played a game more than the Hornets and two more than the Cherries, whom they lead by six points. AFC Wimbledon drew at Cheltenham Town, leaving them a point shy of potentially escaping the relegation zone.
