Chelsea’s five-star showing and Arsenal frustrated at home – Women’s Football Weekly podcast

The Guardian · 1 day ago

The latest Women's Football Weekly podcast reviews a dramatic weekend of Women's Super League action, with host Faye Carruthers joined by Suzanne Wrack, Marva Kreel and Chris Paouros. The standout story was Chelsea's 5-0 demolition of Manchester United, with five different players getting on the scoresheet, while Arsenal were held to a frustrating draw at home by Crystal Palace, raising fresh questions about Reneé Slegers' side's title credentials after dropping more points.

Elsewhere, Manchester City eased to victory with Bunny Shaw again among the goals, West Ham ended London City Lionesses' unbeaten run, and Brighton snatched a late equaliser against a strong Birmingham side. In WSL 2, Sunderland, Newcastle United and Leicester City all maintained their 100% starts to the season. The episode also touches on early Ballon d'Or discussion and includes a lighthearted call for the WSL to move on from using "Freed From Desire" as a goal-celebration song.

  • Chelsea thrashed Manchester United 5-0 with five different scorers
  • Arsenal held to a draw by Crystal Palace, denting title hopes
