London City Lionesses defeated Liverpool with a penalty in the dying minutes.

Jenna Clark deflected an Izzy Goodwin shot onto the post and Liverpool survived a subsequent scramble in the six-yard box.

Grace Geyoro missed a double chance for London City, with the successive chances both blocked.

Liverpool goalkeeper Rafaela Borggräfe got a crucial touch to Kosovare Asllani’s effort, but later conceded a penalty for a challenge on Nikita Parris and Elena Linari converted via the underside of the crossbar.

While London City are up to seventh, Liverpool are without a point from their four games.

Leicester City levelled in the latter stages to earn a home draw with Everton.

Everton struck on the break six minutes into the second half, Ornella Vignola with the finish.

Noémie Mouchon equalised in the last 10 minutes of the 90, after being picked out by Sam Tierney.

The Toffees remain goal-difference ahead of the Foxes in ninth spot.
