In a breathtaking display of resilience, Chelsea staged a stunning second-half comeback to snatch a dramatic 3-2 victory over a valiant Aston Villa side, cementing their status as serious title contenders in a pulsating Women's Super League encounter.
The match was a tale of two halves at Villa Park. The hosts, under new management, looked set to cause a monumental upset, dominating the first period and deservedly taking a commanding two-goal lead into the break. Chelsea, however, emerged from the interval a transformed side.
The Blues' fightback was a masterclass in persistence. A quickfire double after the restart pulled them level, setting up a grandstand finish. The winner, arriving deep into stoppage time, sent the travelling fans into delirium and broke Villa hearts, proving the champions' relentless winning mentality remains intact.
Manchester United Find Their Rhythm
Elsewhere, Manchester United finally found their attacking spark, cruising to a comfortable 3-0 victory over a struggling London City Lionesses. After a stuttering start to their campaign, this comprehensive performance will be a huge relief to manager Marc Skinner.
The Reds were in control from the outset, displaying a cutting edge that has been missing in previous outings. This result, their biggest win of the season so far, provides a vital platform to build momentum and climb the WSL table.
Leicester Left Reeling by Liverpool Surge
At the King Power Stadium, Liverpool continued their impressive early-season form by handing Leicester City a harsh lesson in a 4-1 demolition. The Foxes, who had shown promise, were simply outclassed by a vibrant and clinical Liverpool side.
The Reds' attacking play was too much for the Leicester defence to handle, with the visitors scoring four unanswered goals after conceding an early equaliser. This statement win sees Liverpool firmly established in the upper echelons of the league, signalling their intent to disrupt the established order this season.
The weekend's results have dramatically reshaped the early WSL landscape, setting the stage for a fiercely competitive campaign where any team can be beaten on their day.
