Last weekend’s WSL was apparently sponsored by chaos. London City Lionesses delivered the statement result, dismantling previously unbeaten Spurs 6–1. Alexia Putellas and Kadidiatou Diani scored twice each, Daniëlle van de Donk and Delphine Cascarino joined in, while Victoria Pelova’s reply felt less like a consolation and more like administrative paperwork. Arsenal twice led Manchester City and still left empty-handed. Lauren Hemp equalised twice, Kerstin Casparij put City ahead and Bunny Shaw completed a thrilling 4–2 win. City now have five wins from five and sit ten points clear of Arsenal, whose title challenge is already drifting into emergency-meeting territory. Chelsea were rather more businesslike, beating West Ham 3–0 through Melvine Malard, Keira Walsh and Maika Hamano. Brighton recovered from conceding after three minutes to put five past Charlton, Ruby Mace scored both Everton goals in a 2–1 victory over Birmingham, and Julia Zigiotti Olme’s early strike settled Manchester United’s meeting with Liverpool. Aston Villa and Crystal Palace provided the weekend’s only draw, finishing 1–1. Seven matches, 28 goals and three games containing at least six. A perfectly normal weekend, then. |
