🎥 Villa Women stun Chelsea with quickfire WSL opener Chelsea Women hoped to bounce back in the WSL after their mid-week Champions League defeat against Arsenal. However, the Blues made a nightmare start in their home clash against Aston Villa on Sunday and conceded after just two minutes. Defender Ellie Carpenter gifted the visitors an opening after her mis-placed pass in midfield.

Villa punished the mistake with a free-flowing attack, and Chasity Grant applied a flicked finish at the near post. The Villans held their lead for 18 minutes before Chelsea replied through Sam Kerr's well-taken finish.
