<\/p>\n
Sjoeke Nusken scored a brace to help Chelsea secure a 4-2 Women\u2019s Super League comeback victory over Brighton at Kingsmeadow.<\/p>\n
The Germany midfielder netted her first two goals in blue after her summer move from Eintracht Frankfurt, with her first coming in first-half added-time before she scored again just after the break.<\/p>\n
This came after Brighton\u2019s Pauline Bremer scored the opener for Melissa Phillips\u2019 side, who failed to take advantage of their early lead.<\/p>\n
Seagulls defender Guro Bergsvand scored an own goal in the 74th minute and Chelsea\u2019s Aggie Beever-Jones came off the bench to put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n
Elisabeth Terland\u2019s second-half stoppage-time goal was merely a consolation as Brighton\u2019s losing run was extended to three.<\/p>\n
Three points for Chelsea put them joint top with title rivals Manchester City after their 1-0 win at Leicester on Saturday.<\/p>\n
In east London, West Ham\u2019s equaliser in the fifth minute of second-half added time stole a late point against Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Marie Hobinger opened the scoring for the visitors in the 52nd minute to give them a 1-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
But Japan international Riko Ueki bundled the ball home at the death to grab a late share the spoils.<\/p>\n
Nikita Parris returned to haunt her former club once again as Manchester United comfortably beat Everton 5-0 at Walton Hall Park to enter the international break unbeaten.<\/p>\n
Liverpool-born Parris, who began her career at Everton, scored two second-half goals and set up one to take her record against the Toffees to eight goals in nine Super League appearances.<\/p>\n
United substitute Rachel Williams also enjoyed her afternoon by picking up a brace of goals in the final 15 minutes after being introduced for France international Melvine Malard, who had earlier opened the scoring in the 14th minute.<\/p>\n
Parris\u2019 goals in the 58th minute and three minutes into stoppage time were a reward for her energy and non-stop harrying of an Everton defence that eventually buckled in the second half under the intense press of United.<\/p>\n
In Sunday\u2019s late kick-off, a Katie McCabe double handed Arsenal a narrow 2-1 victory away to Bristol City.<\/p>\n
The clinical McCabe scored the first after seven minutes courtesy of a wonderful effort from range.<\/p>\n
After City\u2019s Rachel Furness cancelled the goal out in the 16th minute, McCabe scored once more just before the hour to give Jonas Eidevall\u2019s side a much-needed victory on the road.<\/p>\n
