Chelsea see off title rivals Man City to go top of WSL
Chelsea's Erin Cuthbert celebrates at the final whistle after the Women's Super League match at Stamford Bridge, London, November 16, 2024

CHELSEA moved to the top of the Women’s Super League table at the weekend as they confidently beat title rivals Manchester City 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

Mayra Ramirez made the breakthrough in a tight game with a cool finish into the bottom corner in the 75th minute before Guro Reiten wrapped up victory four minutes later.

The win maintained Chelsea’s perfect start to the WSL season after seven games and lifted them above City and into first place.

Fran Kirby scored a thrilling late winner to help the Seagulls return to winning ways in dramatic fashion with a 3-2 victory over West Ham.

After taking control through goals from Rachel McLauchlan and Kiko Seike, Brighton let their 2-0 lead slip as the Hammers levelled through two quickfire Katrina Gorry goals scored in the space of six minutes.

However, Kirby had the final say in the 82nd minute when her strike bounced in off a post to give Brighton their fifth league win this season.
