at Stamford Bridge
A first-half blitz by rampant Chelsea blew Arsenal away in the opening stages of this crucial WSL clash at Stamford Bridge on Friday evening.
Lauren James opened the scoring, prior to a brace from Sjoeke Nusken inside the opening 32 minutes, sealing victory for the home side — ensuring Arsenal fell six points behind top spot with only six matches left to play and effectively ending any hopes of a first WSL title since 2019.
“We weren't good enough,” Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall said after the match.
