Katie McCabe scored the winner with a powerful strike as Arsenal came from a goal down at home to beat Manchester City 2-1 but Chelsea rose above them to second spot in the Women's Super League later on Sunday after a 3-0 win over Aston Villa.
The Blues have amassed 40 points, one less than leaders Manchester United, who beat Brighton & Hove Albion 4-0 on Saturday, and two more than third-placed Arsenal, with Manchester City fourth on goal difference.
Things looked promising for City when striker Khadija Shaw gave them the lead in the fifth minute by finishing off a flowing passing move with a superb header from Chloe Kelly's cross. McCabe, who was booked for an early altercation with Kelly, got the winner 13 minutes later when she picked up a short corner and cut inside before lashing an unstoppable shot into the net.
At the other end of the table, Carrie Jones scored the winner six minutes into second-half stoppage time to lift Leicester City off the bottom thanks to a 2-1 win over Reading.
