WSL: Chelsea continue unbeaten run as Liverpools clash with Villa postponed - Soccer News
"There were six goals across the two matches that were played on Sunday, though only one of those came at Kingsmeadow, where Aggie Beever-Jones scored in the seventh minute. Chelsea had chances to extend their lead, with Sonia Bompastor's team having eight shots on target, but they failed to capitalise and instead were left to rely on Hannah Hampton late on, as the England goalkeeper made a fantastic stop to push Rosella Ayane's lob onto the crossbar in second-half stoppage time."
"Liverpool confirmed on Saturday that Beard, who guided the club to two WSL titles in his first stint in charge, had passed away at the age of 47. Beard returned for a second spell in charge of Liverpool in 2021, with his tenure coming to an end in February. He took over at Burnley in June, but then resigned from his post two months later."
"Brighton, meanwhile, thrashed West Ham 4-1 at Broadfield Stadium to claim their first win of the season in style. Caitlin Hayes opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, with Kiko Seike swiftly making it 2-0. Viviane Asseyi pulled one back from the penalty spot for the Hammers, but Brighton regained control through Rosa Kafaji's effort, with Marisa Olislagers adding further gloss in the 86th minute."
Chelsea extended their unbeaten WSL run to 28 matches with a 1-0 win over Leicester. Aggie Beever-Jones scored in the seventh minute. Sonia Bompastor's side had eight shots on target but failed to add to the score, and England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton made a stoppage-time save to push Rosella Ayane's lob onto the crossbar. Brighton beat West Ham 4-1 at Broadfield Stadium, with Caitlin Hayes and Kiko Seike making it 2-0 before Viviane Asseyi scored a penalty and Rosa Kafaji and Marisa Olislagers restored Brighton's two-goal cushion. Liverpool's match with Aston Villa was postponed after the death of former manager Matt Beard, aged 47.
