Chelsea Women 1-0 Man United Women: Match Report

Manchester United Women travelled to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea in the final Women’s Super League game of the season.

First half

United faced an early setback when Jayde Riviere had to be substituted due to injury after just six minutes.

The visitors did not let the injury affect them and pressed the Blues well. After 18 minutes, Hanna Lundkvist’s effort was blocked by her own Swedish teammate Fridolina Rolfo.

Twenty-one minutes in, Lauren James wriggled away from her marker and unleashed a powerful effort, but Phallon Tullis-Joyce expertly tipped the ball over the crossbar.

As Chelsea usually do to United, they weathered the storm and sucker punched effectively.

A stunning ball into the box from Lauren James was dinked beautifully on the volley by Sam Kerr to give the Londoners the lead.

Chelsea attempted to get their second, but Alyssa Thompson’s effort was well stopped by Tullis-Joyce and the score stayed at 0-1 to Chelsea as the half-time whistle blew.
