Chelsea flexed title-winning credentials with a dominant 6-0 win at Charlton, restoring them to the top of the WSL on goal difference. Nathalie Bjorn opened the scoring, Melvine Malard struck twice, and Ellie Carpenter also found the net before the break. Aggie Beever-Jones and Giulia Dragoni added further goals as Chelsea finished with 34 shots and more than 70 per cent possession.
Manchester City answered earlier pressure with a 2-1 victory at London City Lionesses. Bunny Shaw rounded Mary Earps for the opener, and Lauren Hemp restored the lead just 122 seconds after the hosts equalised. City remain unbeaten on 22 points, level with Chelsea, but finish the day second on goal difference.
Arsenal's title credentials took another hit after being held to a draw by Aston Villa. Despite 27 shots and an expected goals value of 2.68, they waited until the final five minutes to score. They have managed just eight goals across their opening eight games, conceding nine.
