Chelsea 4 – 1 Arsenal

In a re-match of last season’s League Cup Final, holders Chelsea hosted Arsenal at Kingsmeadow with the home side taking all three points.

Sam Kerr started for The Blues while Caitlin Foord lined up for the Gunners. It was Kerr’s Chelsea that landed the first blow through captain Magdalena Eriksson in the 5^th minute.

That signalled the start of what would be a high tempo, high intensity match between two of the top teams in England.

Foord continued her stellar start to the season as she brought Arsenal level in the 8^th minute with a long range effort.

However a quick brace from Guro Reiten – with her second courtesy of a rebound from a Kerr effort – to give the Blues some space at the break.

The second half saw more of the same from the two combatants with Chelsea holding out the Arsenal resurgence before sealing the match late.

The win takes Chelsea to second in Group B and will meet Manchester City in the WSL next. Meanwhile league leaders Arsenal will take on Brighton & Hove Albion.
