London City Lionesses missed the chance to close up on second place in the Women's Super League as they were held to a 1-1 draw at Arsenal.

With Chelsea having beaten Manchester City on Saturday to go a point clear at the top, the third-placed Lionesses were looking to capitalise.

The Gunners -- who have yet to win at home in the WSL, drawing all their previous four games -- took the lead in the 10th minute when Frida Maanum slotted in a cutback from Alessia Russo.

London City were swiftly back on level terms as Isobel Goodwin fired home an equaliser almost straight after the restart.

Both sides struck the crossbar in the second half, with Delphine Cascarino clipping the top of the woodwork before Lionesses keeper Mary Earps pushed a rising effort from Maanum onto the bar and over.

Viviane Asseyi scored twice as West Ham secured back-to-back WSL home wins after beating rock-bottom Charlton 2-0.

Asseyi's curled finish put the Irons in front just ahead of the break and she then scored a 25-yard free-kick early in the second half.

The defeat saw Charlton, who remain without a point, become the first WSL team to lose all 10 of their opening matches of the season.

Hathilde Harviken's late goal gave Aston Villa a 1-0 win over derby rivals Birmingham, which leaves them seventh.
