MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City and Aston Villa kept the pressure on Premier League leader Arsenal with wins on Sunday. Nottingham Forest pulled further away from the relegation zone with a 3-0 victory against Tottenham and Sunderland beat Newcastle 1-0 in the Tyne-Wear derby after an own-goal from Nick Woltemade.

West Ham are averaging a point per game under head coach Nuno Espirito Santo and were denied a first win in four attempts by a controversial stoppage-time Brighton equaliser last weekend.

Phil: A win at Basel is an excellent result as they are Swiss champions. However, we also showed that we can play and win at a top European side even with eight changes.

Shaw opened the scoring for the league leaders at the Joie Stadium with a sidefooted finish into the bottom corner after meeting Vivianne Miedema's lay-off. The 28-year-old has now reached a century of goals, making her the first City player in the women's professional era to hit that milestone in just 120 appearances.
