Arsenal moved eight points clear at the top of the Women's Premier League with a 4-0 win against struggling Cardiff.

Leeds's meeting with Chelsea, Birmingham City's visit to Sunderland and Fulham's fixture with Blackburn were all postponed.

That allowed both Charlton and Everton to draw level on points with Leeds United, who are second in the table.

Charlton won 4-2 at Doncaster Rovers Belles, while Everton beat Bristol Academy 3-0.

England winger Karen Carney gave Arsenal a 14th-minute lead, but it took the league champions until the first five minutes of the second half to put the game beyond the Bluebirds.

Striker Kelly Smith and midfielder Katie Chapman hit goals within a minute of each other, then their England colleague Alex Scott wrapped up the scoring in the 72nd minute.

Victory maintains Arsenal's 100% record and leaves Cardiff in the relegation zone.

Goals in the opening half hour by England striker Eni Aluko and midfielder Maria Vertelli seemed to have set the Addicks up for a comfortable victory.

But Donny hit back with Sophie Hopper and Jo Love levelling the scores with goals either side of half-time.

The match then looked to be heading for a draw - but striker Ashlee Hincks scored twice in the last three minutes to earn maximum points for the visitors.

Amy Kane put Everton in front from an excellent seventh-minute cross by England striker Jody Handely.

England midfielder Farrah Williams increased the lead direct from a 49th-minute free-kick, the ball flying in off the underside of the bar.
