WSL roundup: Chelsea get back into the groove at Spurs as Madonna watches on
"Chelsea defeated Tottenham 2-0 to boost their faint hopes of retaining the Women's Super League title, as Madonna watched from the stands at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Goals from Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson either side of half-time ended Chelsea's run of back-to-back defeats and left Sonia Bompastor's team nine points off the leaders Manchester City, who lost 1-0 against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium earlier on Sunday."
"Madonna had watched her daughters, Estere and Stella, play for Tottenham in an under-14 academy game on Saturday. The 67-year-old pop singer then turned up to watch the senior women's team on Sunday, who stay fifth in the table after failing to capitalise on early momentum. Olivia Holdt hit the crossbar for the hosts before Chelsea took the lead when Erin Cuthbert's corner was half-cleared."
"Liverpool moved off the bottom of the table with a convincing 4-1 home win against Aston Villa, who fell to their third successive WSL defeat. Mia Enderby opened the scoring from Ceri Holland's low cross, and Martha Thomas poked home a looping ball to make it 2-0 inside the first 15 minutes. Miri Taylor pulled one back for the visitors, before Jennifer Falk denied Kirsty Hanson as Villa pushed for an equaliser."
