Sarah Mayling conceded a late own goal to deny Aston Villa a battling point against Women's Super League leaders Chelsea as the Blues continued their formidable winning run.
In the 82nd minute Maika Hamano attempted to square the ball to Mayra Ramirez in the area and Mayling inadvertently poked the ball into her own net when she intercepted a few yards out from goal.
It marked a frustrating end to manager Natalia Arroyo's first game as Villa boss after her side had gone toe-to-toe with the champions at Villa Park.
Kirsty Hanson had had the game's best chance for the hosts, striking the bar from range midway through the second half.
But Chelsea's late winner handed Sonia Bompastor's side a 12th league win in 13 matches as they went 10 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the WSL table.
