Arsenal opened up a two-point lead over challengers Manchester City in the first Women's Super League action of the New Year, capitalising after the latter failed to win their opening game of 2019.
Having been beaten by City in their last league outing before the Christmas break - their first dropped points of the season after a flying start - Arsenal returned to winning ways with a 4-2 victory over West Ham. It wasn't easy as two Jane Ross goals for the Hammers ensured the game was tied 2-2 at half-time, but Danielle van de Donk scored a brace after the interval.
