There was a debut goal for Ashleigh Plumptre during Notts County’s 5-0 victory, as England’s Ellen White (2), Alex Greenwood and Rachel Williams also found the net.
White’s international colleague Toni Duggan and Isobel Christiansen ensured Manchester City continued their 11-match unbeaten run, with a 2-0 win over Liverpool, who also qualified.
And England legend Rachel Yankey scored a fine free-kick during Arsenal’s 4-0 win over Millwall Lionesses, with Dannielle Carter, Chloe Kelly and Dominique Janssen also getting their names on the scoresheet.
