The rundown from an action-packed Sunday in the Women's Super League, as Man City cruised past West Ham and Arsenal suffered yet more frustration.
Man City claim WSL top spotMuch-changed Manchester City warmed up for Wednesday's Champions League group-stage game against European heavyweights Barcelona with a routine 2-0 victory over West Ham.
