Meanwhile Chelsea lost at home to Liverpool in a London derby.
Alexandra Arnold gave Red the lead in 14th minute before Roberto Firmino double the lead in the 15th minute into the half.
A consolation goal from Ngolo Kante 30th minute was not enough for the Blues to get a draw at home.
While Arsenal came from behind to defeat Aston Vila 3-2 at Emirate stadium, thanks to goals from Nicolas Pepe, Calum Chambers and Pierre – Emerick Aubameyang in 59th, 81th and 84th minute.
Aston Vila John McGinn had earlier opened goals for Aston Vila in 20th minute before Wesley make it 2 for the visitors in 60th minute.
