In a hard-fought match, Chelsea achieved a vital 1-0 victory over Tottenham, marked by Keira Walsh’s first goal for the club. Despite facing challenges in the final third, Chelsea secured a crucial win that may help restore confidence after recent setbacks.
Match Overview
On Sunday, Chelsea dominated possession with 67% and made 27 attempts on goal, but only four shots were on target. The team struggled with finishing, reflecting a pattern seen in previous matches. However, the victory reinforces Chelsea’s status as a formidable force in women’s football.
Unbeaten Streak Continues
This win keeps Chelsea unbeaten in their last 31 Women’s Super League (WSL) matches. This streak ties them for the second-longest unbeaten run in WSL history, matching the performance of Manchester City between May 2015 and May 2017 (25 wins and 6 draws).
Upcoming Challenges
With fixtures against London City Lionesses, Arsenal, and Liverpool scheduled for November, Chelsea aims to surpass their own all-time record of 33 consecutive unbeaten matches.
Player Highlights
- Keira Walsh scored her first goal for Chelsea, securing the win against Tottenham.
- Lucy Bronze made a late appearance, marking her return since the Euro 2025 final.
Bronze, playing through a fractured leg during the tournament, adds depth to Chelsea’s defensive lineup as they continue their pursuit of another WSL title.
While Chelsea may not have displayed their typical flair, the victory serves as a testament to their resilience and ability to grind out results, a key factor in their dominance in the WSL over the past six seasons.
