Hibernian 1-2 Celtic
Partick Thistle 2-1 Motherwell
Aberdeen 0-3 Rangers
Hearts 0-1 Glasgow City
Glasgow City scored the only goal of the game away to Hearts, extending their lead to seven points over their hosts as well as Rangers and Celtic. The decisive moment came just before the hour mark, when Lisa Evans’ cross was clinically headed in off the far post by Nicole Kozlova.
Rangers narrowly moved into second place with three points at Aberdeen, where Katie Wilkinson, Laura Berry, and Kim Shin-Ji found the net, the latter direct from a corner.
Celtic’s win away to Hibs featured one of the earliest goals ever, as Maria McAneny lobbed Noah Schumacher in just the fourth second of the match. Although Scarlett Herron equalised, Saoirse Noonan sealed it for the Hoops by scoring on the rebound from her own spot-kick.
