WSL roundup: Leicester rooted to bottom but Liverpool ease relegation fears

Leicester lose 2-1 against Aston Villa having led 1-0

Liverpool edge towards safety with 0-0 draw at Brighton

The relegation fears of the Women’s Super League’s bottom team, Leicester, worsened as they let a one-goal lead slip and lost 2-1 at home to an Aston Villa side who were inspired by their half-time substitute Ebony Salmon.

Leicester had looked on course to climb out of the relegation spot and above West Ham on goal difference, but Villa’s superb second-half fightback condemned Leicester to a 12th defeat from their 17 league games this season and left them three points from safety with five games remaining.
