8 d. ago WSL talking points: Miedema proves doubters wrong and Chelsea stumble again

Chelsea lose ground in title race at Liverpool while Arsenal struggle to find their shooting bootsWhen Alyssa Thompson fired in a superb ninth-minute opener, Chelsea looked on course for another routine win. However, Liverpool’s defence held firm and the Reds levelled in the 33rd minute and held out until half-time. The Chelsea manager, Sonia Bompastor, introduced further attacking options in the second half, including Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones, but a solid defensive display from Liverpool ensured Chelsea were unable to find a winner as the hosts earned their second point of the season. Although the result did mean Chelsea set a record of 34 successive unbeaten WSL games, clearly all is not well with the defending champions. Last season they had 27 points after nine games and led the way, this campaign they have eight fewer and are three points behind Manchester City.

3 w. ago WSL talking points: London City look promising despite loss and Liverpool vow to fight on

Brighton still find goals despite Agyemang blow, West Ham eye an upturn and Everton leave it late to levelIf Jocelyn Prêcheur needed an example of how far his London City Lionesses team have come in a few weeks, it was Saturday’s encounter against Chelsea. It ended in a 2-0 defeat to the champions but his side impressed at Stamford Bridge and asked several questions of their opponents. London City controlled 43% of possession – perhaps more than expected – and managed the same number of shots on target (three), with Isobel Goodwin providing a particular threat running in behind. “When we compare it to September when we played other top-four opposition, it was really good,” Prêcheur said. “What I like is that we start to see a team – [that] was my biggest challenge. We saw a team that defended and attacked together. We still need to improve.” SDMatch report: Chelsea 2-0 London City LionessesSpurs’ rally against Liverpool reveals Ho’s and Taylor’s tasks Continue reading...
