Chelsea secured their sixth consecutive Women's Super League title with a narrow 1-0 victory over Manchester United, clinching the trophy with two games remaining. However, the match was marred by an incident where Chelsea midfielder Niamh Charles suffered a forehead injury after a high boot from Melvine Malard. This accidental collision led to a yellow card for Malard but sparked controversy among fans who felt a red card was more appropriate. The incident highlighted ongoing discussions about officiating standards in women's football, especially given the absence of VAR technology.
The incident during Chelsea's match against Manchester United raised discussions among fans, with many questioning why Malard received only a yellow card for her high kick.
Supporters expressed outrage over the referee's decision, arguing that Malard's actions, which led to Charles being injured, warranted a harsher penalty than just a yellow card.
