London City Lionesses keep Arsenal Women waiting for a home win in the Barclays WSL this season.
Aston Villa 1-0 Birmingham City (Att: 5,672)
West Ham United 2-0 Charlton Athletic
Arsenal 1-1 London City Lionesses (Att: 32,588)
Arsenal are still without a home win in the BWSL this season after being held to a 1-1 draw by London City Lionesses.
A swift and early exchange of goals saw Frida Maanum finish from an Alessia Russo cutback, while Izzy GooArsdwin broke into the box to fire home the equaliser for the Lionesses.
Delphine Cascarino of London City clipped the top of the bar with a powerful strike, Mary Earps tipped a Maanum effort onto the bar in the dying minutes.
Aston Villa defeated Birmingham City 1-0 to move up three places to seventh in the table.
Villa had a first-half goal ruled out but managed to break the deadlock in the final quarter of an hour.
From a free kick, Lynn Wilms headed the ball back across the goalmouth for an easy finish by Mathilde Harviken.
The hosts were reduced to 10 players in added time after two very quick cautions for Océane Deslandes, but Birmingham also had a player short due to a Lily Crosthwaite injury.
West Ham United moved up to ninth place as they handed Charlton Athletic their 10th consecutive defeat.
Viviane Asseyi broke the deadlock for West Ham a couple of minutes before the end of the first half with a strike from outside the box.
Less than 10 minutes after the restart, Asseyi fired West Ham two up from a free kick.
