Chelsea Women end unbeaten run of Manchester United Women

Manchester United Women had been unbeaten in the league this season but that came to an end during the weekend against Chelsea Women.

Chelsea scored twice in four minutes after a goalless first-half through Sam Kerr and Lauren James to give the Blues a 2-0 lead before Alessia Russo’s strike gave United a glimmer of hope with 20 minutes to go.

As Manchester United pushed for an equaliser, Chelsea scored a third goal in stoppage time through Erin Cuthbert.

Chelsea have 18 points as leaders Arsenal at the top of the Women’s Super League table but have played a game more than Arsenal.
