"Chelsea's record-breaking unbeaten run in the Women's Super League was brought to an end with a shock result as Everton won away against the defending champions, who had not lost any of the previous 34 league matches. Everton's 1-0 victory inflicted Sonia Bompastor's first defeat as a WSL manager after a remarkable 18 months in charge, and was Chelsea's first loss in the league since going down 4-3 at Liverpool on 1 May 2024 when Emma Hayes was still at the helm."
"It also briefly looked as though Manchester United were going to drop points in the title race too, after an acrobatic effort from Shekiera Martinez looped into the far corner and drew West Ham level at Leigh Sports Village, but Dominique Janssen's free-kick earned the home side a 2-1 victory, after Elisabeth Terland had opened the scoring but turning in Anna Sandberg's cross."
Chelsea's 34-match unbeaten run in the Women's Super League ended as Everton defeated the defending champions 1-0. Honoka Hayashi scored in the 12th minute, finishing a Toni Payne cross at the far post. Chelsea applied sustained pressure and had 18 corners but failed to find an equaliser. The loss left Chelsea six points behind leaders Manchester City, who beat Leicester 3-0, with 12 games remaining. Sonia Bompastor suffered her first WSL defeat after 18 months in charge. Manchester United held on to beat West Ham 2-1, and Tottenham claimed a 2-1 stoppage-time win over Aston Villa.
