"Chelsea lost more ground at the top of the Women's Super League (WSL) after being held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool in St Helens, although the Blues still set a new league record of 34 successive games unbeaten. The visitors, looking to close back to within a point of leaders Manchester City following their impressive derby win on Saturday, took an early lead through Alyssa Thompson, but Beata Olsson equalised before the break."
"Beever-Jones had the ball in the net just after the hour but was a yard offside from Erin Cuthbert's pass. The England forward then latched on to a high ball into the Liverpool area before lifting a deft finish over Reds keeper Faye Kirby, but the effort dropped just wide. Liverpool full-back Woodham saw her late angled effort fly narrowly past a post as both sides had to settle for a point, with Gareth Taylor's team now bottom after West Ham's win."
Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool in St Helens and sit three points behind Manchester City. Alyssa Thompson opened the scoring in the eighth minute after Wieke Kaptein's pass, firing into the top corner. Beata Olsson equalised in the 32nd minute, racing from her own half to finish a through-ball from Lily Woodham. Aggie Beever-Jones had a second-half goal disallowed for offside and later missed a close chance. Liverpool produced late opportunities, while Chelsea extended their WSL unbeaten run to a record 34 matches and now prepare to face Barcelona in the Champions League.
