Chelsea suffered their first dropped points of the Women’s Super League season as Aston Villa secured a 1-1 draw with a late equaliser. The result marks a rare setback for the Champions following a strong start to the campaign.
The visiting side fought against the momentum of the game to find the equaliser, denying Chelsea the three points they had expected. The match highlights the competitive nature of the top flight as Villa refused to yield despite the pressure.
Chelsea looked dominant but Villa’s spirit is real. That late equalizer shows exactly why the WSL is so competitive this season.
I can’t believe Villa held on for that point. Chelsea really let the three points slip through their fingers in the dying minutes.
Does this mean Chelsea aren’t automatic favorites after all? Aston Villa proved they can hang with the big teams tonight.
