Chelsea Set to Relinquish Women’s Super League Title After Heavy Loss to Man City
Manchester City extended their lead to 11 points with Kerolin's hat trick in a dominant 5-1 win, ending Chelsea's six-year Women’s Super League title streak.
- On Sunday, Manchester City beat Chelsea 5-1 at the match, leaving Chelsea third and 12 points off the leaders with eight rounds remaining as Kerolin scored a hat trick.
- In recent weeks injuries and UEFA Women's Champions League fixtures have stretched Chelsea's squad compared with City's lighter schedule, while last week's Arsenal defeat added pressure.
- Kerolin's second-half run and finish put City firmly in control as she dinked the ball over Hannah Hampton to make it 3-0, ending Chelsea's fightback.
- Manchester City’s win pushed them 11 points clear of Manchester United and 12 ahead of Chelsea, with Jeglertz saying `I think that is very difficult to say` about having one hand on the trophy.
- With eight rounds remaining, Chelsea face a pivotal run after losing back-to-back league games for the first time since July 2015 and ending a 181-match managerial streak, as they are furthest from the top since the final day of the 2018-19 season.
