Manchester United grabbed a late equaliser against Manchester City.

Jess Park clipped the top of the City crossbar on the hour mark, and minutes later Khadija Shaw surged into the box to force a save around the post from Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

But after 66 minutes, Mary Fowler played the ball to Shaw in the area, who turned to whip a shot into the far corner of the net.

Grace Clinton did not make the most of an opportunity to seal the points for City and in the 89th minute United equalised.

Shaw could not get any distance on a headed clearance and the ball fell for Elisabeth Terland to finish.

The draw means that City now sit second to Chelsea on goal difference, while United are back up to fourth.

Chelsea came from behind to win 3-1 away against Crystal Palace after trailing at the break.

Palace’s Molly Bartrip bundled home a Fuka Tsunodha inswinging corner for a surprise lead.

Six minutes into the second half, Melvine Malard whipped a 25-yard effort past goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin for the equaliser.

Chelsea had turned the game in their favour with 15 minutes to play, as Malard nodded home following Sandy Baltimore’s impressive run and cross.

Bartrip brought down Melvine Malard for a penalty, which Baltimore converted for a late third goal.

Liverpool forced a very late own goal to take a draw against London City Lionesses.

Liverpool were awarded a penalty after Mapi Leon dragged down Jenna Clark in the box, and Beata Olsson buried the spot kick.

The lead was short-lived as Freya Godfrey stole the ball from keeper Khiara Keating to score into the empty net.

The Reds secured a point in added time when a Cornelia Kapocs cross forced an own goal by Jana Fernandez.

Aston Villa held off an Everton comeback to move level on points with the seventh-placed Toffees.

Villa took only four minutes to score, as Noelle Maritz exchanged passes with Amalie Vangsgaard before finishing, and they wee two up as Chasity Grant won possession and found Vangsgaard to fire home.

Five minutes after the restart, Martinez crossed and Vangsgaard stabbed home her second of the game for Villa.

Yuka Momiki played in Holly McNamara to pull a goal back for the hosts with 11 minutes to go.

Noemie Mouchon further reduced the deficit but with only a stoppage time to go.

Birmingham City climbed two places to 11th on goal difference after sending Charlton Athletic to a seventh successive defeat.

The Blues got the only goal from a breakthrough midway into the second half, as Océane Hurtré hit the frame of the goal and Lily Crosthwaite crossed the rebound for Wilma Leidhammar to finish.
