Brighton drew 1-1 at Tottenham, with Bethany England salvaging a point for the FA Cup finalists.
Elisabeth Terland’s 13th goal of the season, poking home the rebound after Spurs goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer had kept out her initial header, put the Seagulls ahead after 17 minutes.
But England turned home substitute Ashleigh Neville’s cross to level nine minutes from time.
West Ham edged towards safety with a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa.
Alisha Lehmann struck against her former club – and against the run of play – to put Villa ahead after 72 minutes.
The Hammers equalised in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Shannon Cooke met Riko Ueki’s centre and the ball trickled through the legs of Villa goalkeeper Sophia Poor.
West Ham’s safety will be confirmed if Bristol City fail to beat Manchester City in Sunday’s late kick-off.
Crystal Palace will be playing in the WSL next season after rubber-stamping their promotion from the Championship.
Palace went into the final day of the campaign three points clear of second-placed Charlton with an an overwhelming advantage in goal difference, and a goalless draw against Sunderland in front of a club-record 6,796 crowd at Selhurst Park sealed top place.
