Manchester City drew level on points with WSL leaders Chelsea and boosted their title hopes with a crucial 1-0 win on Friday night.
Bunny Shaw scored the only goal of the game at Kingsmeadow – her 14th WSL goal of the season – with a composed finish after only 14 minutes.
The Blues saw penalty appeals turned down in the first half, when Mayra Ramirez was caught by Alex Greenwood in the box.
They were also denied what looked a certain equaliser by a stunning double save from teenage goalkeeper Khiara Keating deep into second-half stoppage time.
After a rare home defeat for Chelsea, only goal difference now separates the teams in the standings, with eight league matches remaining until the conclusion of the campaign.
