Strikers Nicole Kozlova and Brenna Lovera both scored twice to help City to a 6-1 win over Aberdeen, whose only goal came from Nicola Jameison – the defender’s first for the Dons.

Hibs eased aside Spartans, scoring an early flurry that put them 5-0 up in the first half.

They continued to dominate but could only find the back of the net once in the second period.

Celtic emerged victorious despite a tricky afternoon at home before beating city rivals Partick Thistle 4-2.

Striker Saoirse Noonan’s opener was cancelled out by rival forward Carla Boyce early in the second half.

However, Noonan added to the scoreline with 15 minutes to play and substitutes Kelly Clark and Maria McAneny put Celtic on course for the three points before centre-half Demi Falconer’s late goal pulled one back for the visitors.

Dundee United, three points behind Queen’s Park at the bottom, were dealt more misery in a 6-1 home defeat by Motherwell.

Doubles from forward Laura Berry and defender Chelsie Watson put Motherwell four in front at the break.

A stunning goal from kick-off courtesy of striker Freya Brien got United on the scoresheet, but Berry completed her hat-trick before midfielder Sophie Black got Motherwell’s sixth.
