Bompastor’s Chelsea end Man United’s unbeaten start
Chelsea's Guro Reiten celebrates scoring their side's first goal of the game during the Women's Super League match at Kingsmeadow, London, November 24, 2024

CHELSEA survived a late scare as they maintained their 100 per cent record under new boss Sonia Bompastor by beating Manchester United 1-0 today.

Guro Reiten’s 17th-minute penalty gave a dominant Blues side the lead in a clash between the only remaining unbeaten teams in the Women’s Super League.

But the hosts’ winning record came close to being ended in stoppage time when substitute Melvine Malard produced some brilliant footwork to beat Millie Bright only to see her effort crash back off Hannah Hampton’s crossbar.
