Chelsea kept their title hopes alive with a thrilling 4-3 victory over Aston Villa in a seven-goal encounter, according to reports. Sjoeke Nusken scored the winning goal, helping Chelsea reclaim second place in the WSL. However, they remain nine points behind leaders Manchester City, sources indicated.
West Ham United's mixed results have given them a survival boost. They drew 1-1 with London City Lionesses, with Oona Siren scoring a volley for West Ham, according to reports.
