In Saturday’s Women’s Super League clash, Everton clawed back from a two‑goal deficit when Japanese forward Momiki unleashed a curling strike in the 85th minute, sealing a 2‑2 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in front of a lively crowd. The late equaliser halted Chelsea’s momentum and gave the Toffees a point they desperately needed after drifting in the lower half of the table.

Chelsea entered the match on a three‑game unbeaten run, looking to stretch their lead at the top of the table. Everton, meanwhile, had endured a string of narrow defeats that left them hovering near the relegation zone. United, who host Manchester City later this week, were held to a goalless draw, underscoring the tight competition across the league for the upcoming international break.

Both sides walk away with a point, but the result reshapes the title race; Chelsea’s slip opens a window for Arsenal and Manchester United to close the gap, while Everton’s revival injects belief that survival is still within reach. As the season accelerates, every dropped point will dictate who contests the championship and who battles relegation for clubs eyeing European qualification.
