Chelsea ruthless, 1-0 to the Arsenal and Villa beat Lewes - five talking points from the Women’s Super League weekend

The three giants of women’s football ensured that there remains just a point between them at the top of the table, while surprise package Everton keep place in their slipstream.

Down in the Championship, it’s Aston Villa who lead the way, with a similarly stellar record as they vie for the top table.

Here are the biggest talking points from Sunday’s action.

Chelsea ruthless in Midlands

Retaining their position at the top of the league and notching up their biggest win of the season in the process; it was quite the afternoon's work for Chelsea.

They dispatched Birmingham 6-0 on the road, dominating throughout: all the way from Ji So Yun’s opener two minutes in, to Beth England’s strike on 63 minutes.

She grabbed a brace on the day, along with Drew Spence, while Millie Bright added one to the tally as Chelsea improved their Barclays WSL record to played seven, won six, drawn one.

Toffees flying under the radar

The top three in the Barclays WSL are as you would expect – Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have won the last three titles respectively – but there could well be a new face in town.

Willie Kirk’s Everton side have now won three league games on the bounce and stay just four points off the top thanks to an impressive 3-1 triumph over Tottenham.

A fine strike from skipper Lucy Graham capped off the win after an own goal and Molly Pike had set the groundwork.

It was the perfect response from the Blues, as they left Thursday night’s Continental League Cup defeat to Manchester City firmly in the rear-view mirrors.

1-0 to the Arsenal

They say that old habits die hard, and that was certainly the case for Arsenal, as they edged out Liverpool by a solitary goal at Meadow Park.
