Chelsea go top of the WSL after Sandy Baltimore's late first-half strike sees off Manchester City 1-0. · 3 reports
Chelsea moved above Manchester City at the top of the Women's Super League with a 1-0 win, ending City's run of scoring in each of their previous 21 games across all competitions. The decisive moment came from Sandy Baltimore's strike in added time at the end of the first half, while Sonia Bompastor's tactical choices, including substituting Kadeisha Buchanan early on, were widely credited for the result. Coverage frames the win as a pragmatic, resolute performance that handed City their first loss of the campaign.

The Read
Manchester City slump to three straight defeats after a single win, with goals still flowing but no points.
- Across the last five finished games City have scored 8 and conceded 8, a goal difference of +0 that reflects a side trading goals rather than controlling matches.
- Marc Guéhi and Antoine Semenyo are both sidelined through injury, adding defensive and attacking availability questions during a run of three consecutive losses.
- Enzo Fernández's arrival from Chelsea comes as Claudio Echeverri and Jeremy Monga depart, with City sitting third in the Premier League table.
