Sunderland Ladies sneaked a crucial 2-1 win away at Millwall courtesy of goals from Kelly McDougal and Stephanie Bannon.
The Lions were in the hunt when Ann-Marie Heatherson pulled one back with seven minutes to go but the Black Cats held on to increase the pressure on Leeds at the top of the table.
Elsewhere, fourth-placed Watford were held to a goalless draw at home to Doncaster Rovers Belles. The Hornets had much of the game but could not find the breakthrough.
