"Chelsea have equalled the Women's Super League record for consecutive unbeaten matches, even though they could not manage to overcome Arsenal. The reigning WSL champions have now gone 33 games without defeat in the competition. However, they were denied a victory on Saturday by Alessia Russo's 87th-minute equaliser, as Arsenal fought back to draw 1-1 with the Blues at Emirates Stadium."
"Chelsea will now have the chance to make it 34 games without defeat in the WSL when they face Liverpool on November 16. The Blues, themselves, were the team that set the record 33-game unbeaten run, between February 2019 and January 2021 (won 26, drew seven). Captain Mille Bright is also on the verge of WSL history. She has now matched Jordan Nobbs on 210 appearances, and she will set a new competition record for games played the next time she features."
