Chelsea extended their perfect start to the Women’s Super League season with a dominant 3-0 victory over Liverpool at St Helens, continuing their impressive run under manager Sonia Bompastor. This sixth consecutive win brings Chelsea within just a point of leaders Manchester City, who have played one game more. By securing a sixth straight victory, Chelsea joined an elite group as only the sixth team in WSL history to achieve this feat.
Liverpool, the last team to defeat Chelsea in any competition with a thrilling 4-3 win last season, seemed inspired by that memory as they came out strong, applying pressure from the start. However, Chelsea handled Liverpool’s early energy well, with Blues goalkeeper Rachael Laws called into action for some key saves that kept the game scoreless.
It took Chelsea 37 minutes to finally break the deadlock, but once they did, the goals quickly followed. Mayra Ramirez opened the scoring, capitalizing on Chelsea’s sustained pressure. Shortly after, Liverpool’s goalkeeper Laws, who had been solid in the early stages, made a crucial error with an under-hit pass that fell to Guro Reiten. Reiten seized the opportunity, firing in a long-range shot to double Chelsea’s advantage just minutes before halftime.
In the second half, Chelsea continued to control the game and sealed their victory late on when substitute Aggie Beever-Jones scored her fourth goal of the season, securing a comfortable 3-0 win. This impressive performance solidifies Chelsea’s place among the top contenders and extends their unbeaten streak since last season’s defeat to Liverpool.
