Women’s Super League: Chelsea thrash Everton in a lopsided contest
Chelsea women’s team registered a comfortable 7-0 victory over Everton in their Women’s Super League encounter. Emma Hayes’ side was dominant from the start, with Fran Kirby, Erin Cuthbert, and Bethany England getting on the scoresheet. Chelsea’s dominance continued in the second half, with Kirby adding a second goal and substitutes Jessie Fleming and Niamh Charles getting in on the act. The lopsided victory helped Chelsea maintain their top position in the league table.
The Women’s Super League is the top-tier league in English women’s football and features international players from around the world. Chelsea has been one of the most successful teams in recent years, winning three of the last four titles. The league is highly competitive, with Arsenal and Manchester City among their main competitors.
The top three teams in the league qualify for the UEFA Women’s Champions League, adding an extra incentive for all the teams to perform well. However, the league is not just about glory as the bottom-placed team gets relegated to the FA Women’s Championship.
Newly promoted Leicester City is one of the teams that will be eager to avoid relegation. They are competing in the top-flight of the women’s game for the first time and will be hoping to establish themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
