WSL talking points: Liverpool finally get first win but are Chelsea out of title race?

Liverpool finally break their winless streak in the WSL, and it's a question on everyone's lips: can Chelsea get back into title contention? Arsenal's 2-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was a dominant performance that left no doubt about the Gunners' ability to make things happen when their backs are against the wall. However, despite this impressive display, five draws in the last six games have all but ruled them out of serious title contention.

Liverpool, meanwhile, finally got their first win of the season in stoppage time with a 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur Women at Anfield Stadium. Mia Enderby scored the equalizer in the 94th minute and sealed the win just seconds later to give her side all three points. This result keeps them within touching distance of the top spots, as they look to build on their improving performances.

Manchester City's impressive 2-1 win over London City Lionesses at West Ham Park saw Jamaica striker Bunny Shaw score a crucial late goal to hand her team a nine-point clear lead atop the table. Shaw has been in scintillating form this season and continues to dominate WSL goalscoring charts, scoring nearly twice as many times as any other player in the division.

The battle for bottom spot is heating up, with West Ham claiming their first league away win of the season against Leicester Women 2-1. This victory came despite West Ham being content to sit back and defend, showcasing the tactics employed by interim head coach Rita Guarino.

In a closely contested match, Manchester United overcame Aston Villa 4-1 at Old Trafford. The result marked United's third consecutive win under manager Marc Skinner, who has been praised for his tactical acumen in getting the best out of his players.

The WSL table currently stands with Manchester City Women on top, followed by Chelsea and Arsenal, while Liverpool are now within striking distance despite their slow start to the season.
 
I'm loving this momentum shift for Liverpool! ๐Ÿคฉ They've been struggling all season but that stoppage time winner is gonna be a confidence booster for them. And let's talk about Bunny Shaw, girl's on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ! She's breaking records left and right with those goals. It's clear why Manchester City's got a 9-point lead at the top... I mean, have you seen her form? ๐Ÿคฏ

Now that Arsenal's lost their momentum, can they still make a comeback? ๐Ÿค” They need to sort out these draws ASAP or else... ๐Ÿ˜ฌ On the other hand, Liverpool's win over Tottenham has given them some serious hope. 3 points in the bag and now it's all about building on this momentum.

You know what's interesting? The WSL table is looking more competitive than ever! ๐Ÿ“ˆ It's not just about the top teams like City and Chelsea anymore... there's a lot of other teams making moves and pushing for that spot. And the relegation battle is heating up too - West Ham's got some serious momentum going now! ๐Ÿ’ช
 
OMG u guys I cant believe the game against Tottenham lol Mia Enderby is literally the savior of that team! ๐Ÿ™Œ And can we talk about Bunny Shaw for a sec? She's on FIRE this season and its not even close ๐Ÿ˜‚ City is dominating WSL right now, but Liverpool is giving them some serious competition. Its all about who can stay consistent from now on.

Imo the league needs to get more exciting with these draws popping up left and right ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ I mean I love a good underdog story, but come on, we need some dramatic wins! ๐Ÿ˜… Anyways, gotta keep an eye on those teams and see who can make some noise in the second half of the season. The battle for bottom spot is heating up and West Ham just got that first away win which is HUGE ๐ŸŽ‰
 
I'm lovin' how unpredictable this WSL season is turnin' out! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ† Can't say I'm shocked about Arsenal's dominant win over Chelsea tho ๐Ÿ™Œ They showed they can hang with the best, even if they aren't entirely there yet... but that 5-draw streak is still a major concern ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ‘Ž As for Liverpool finally gettin' their first win? That's a huge momentum boost for 'em! ๐Ÿš€ They're lookin' like a team to beat now ๐Ÿคฉ And Manchester City just keep on rollin', with Bunny Shaw lightin' up the goalsheet ๐Ÿ”ฅ I'm not sayin' anyone can dethrone City just yet, but they're definately the team to beat right now ๐Ÿ’ช #WSL #WomenInFootball
 
omg this WSL is so intense ๐Ÿ˜ฑ i mean liverpool just got a win after like forever and now they're in the mix for top spots? that's crazy! ๐Ÿคฏ i was wondering how chelsea were gonna get back into contention after that loss to arsenal, but it seems like there's still hope for them. can't say i'm surprised by arsenal's performance though, they've been playing so solid lately โš’๏ธ but still gotta wonder if they're too inconsistent... one game they're on fire, next they're drawing 5 times in a row ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ what do u guys think? should anyone be worried about manchester city's huge lead or is it just a normal season so far? ๐Ÿค”
 
Ugh, it's about time Liverpool finally got a win ๐Ÿ™„, I mean, who expected them to go this long without beating anyone? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Now they're all of a sudden in contention for the title? Please, let's see how long that lasts... Chelsea thought they were out of it after losing 2-0 at Arsenal, but I guess they still have some tricks up their sleeve ๐Ÿค”. Man City is looking strong as usual ๐Ÿ’ช, Bunny Shaw is on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ! But can anyone stop them? Probably not ๐Ÿ˜…. West Ham's win over Leicester is a nice little upset, but don't get too excited, it was just one game ๐Ÿ™ƒ. And Manchester United looks like they're finally getting their act together ๐Ÿ‘. Still, I'm not holding my breath for any of these teams to do anything impressive ๐Ÿ’”
 
OMG, 94th minute equalizer ? I swear that's like a superhero cape moment for Mia Enderby ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช! And that win gives Liverpool some serious momentum, but let's not get ahead of ourselves... can they actually hold onto it? ๐Ÿ˜‚ Chelsea's back in title contention? I don't think so, mate. They need to sort out their draw problem ASAP โฑ๏ธ. Manchester City's on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ, and Bunny Shaw's goal was pure magic โœจ! But you know who's not on fire? West Ham ๐Ÿšฎ, still struggling to get off the mark this season ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ. And don't even get me started on Liverpool... they're like the underdog party guests who finally brought their A-game ๐ŸŽ‰.
 
I think its a great reminder that momentum is everything, especially in sports ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ’ช. You can't control your starting position but what you can do is take advantage of every opportunity as it comes along. Liverpool's win today is a perfect example - they didn't give up on themselves even when things weren't going their way, and that determination paid off! ๐Ÿ’ฅ And I love how Manchester City Women are setting the bar so high with Bunny Shaw's performances... she's like a force to be reckoned with on the pitch ๐ŸŒŸ
 
can u believe how much of a difference a single win can make? ๐Ÿคฏ i was watching that liverpool game live and my heart was literally breaking for them because they'd been so close to beating spurs all game. but that last minute winner from mia enderby was just pure magic ๐Ÿ’ซ and now they're back in the mix, who knows what's gonna happen next? ๐Ÿค” i also love how bunny shaw is on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ she's literally scoring goals for fun this season and it's so exciting to watch. anyway, it's clear that the wsl table is going to be super tight until the end of the season...
 
Yaaas ๐Ÿ™Œ the WSL is back and better than ever! I mean, have you seen the stats? โšฝ๏ธ Manchester City is leading with 24 points from 8 games, but let's look at this: if they lose one more game, their goal difference would be -11. Not ideal ๐Ÿค”

And can we talk about Bunny Shaw for a sec? ๐Ÿคฏ She's like the Golden Boot winner of the WSL so far! With 15 goals in 8 games, she's not only dominating the league but also scoring at an insane rate ๐Ÿš€. I mean, 1 goal every 44 minutes? That's what we're talking about ๐Ÿ’ช

But here's the thing: the top 3 teams are all having a tough time right now. Chelsea has 4 draws in the last 6 games, while Arsenal is struggling to find consistency after that dominant win over Chelsea. And Liverpool, oh boy... they were on the brink of relegation just like that ๐Ÿคฏ.

The battle for bottom spot is heating up, though! West Ham's first league away win this season was a huge milestone ๐Ÿ‘. I mean, who knew their tactics under Rita Guarino would pay off? ๐Ÿ˜‚

One more thing: Manchester United is on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ, winning 3 games in a row under Marc Skinner. They're looking like a team to beat ๐Ÿคฉ.
 
I gotta say, this WSL is getting more unpredictable by the minute ๐Ÿคฏ! I mean, one week Arsenal's taking down Chelsea 2-0 at Stamford Bridge, the next they're drawing with everyone in sight ๐Ÿ˜…. But you know what's even crazier? Liverpool finally breaking their winless streak and now they're right in the mix for a top spot ๐Ÿ”ฅ! It's gonna be so interesting to see how this whole season plays out, especially with Manchester City looking pretty unbeatable at the moment ๐Ÿคฉ. And can't forget about Bunny Shaw, she's on fire ๐Ÿ”ฅ! The battle for bottom spot is heating up too, it'll be fun to watch West Ham try and stay up โš”๏ธ.
 
I mean, it's about time Liverpool broke that winless streak... I guess 94 minutes isn't exactly a long time to wait ๐Ÿ˜‚. But seriously, can anyone expect them to maintain this momentum? They're still like 10 points behind City, and those other top teams are looking pretty strong too.

And Chelsea's chances of getting back into title contention are looking grim by the minute... they need to sort out their defence if they want any hope of catching up. That Arsenal win over them was a solid performance, but five draws in six games? Yeah, that's not exactly confidence-inspiring ๐Ÿค”.

Manchester City is still on top for now, and Bunny Shaw is like the WSL superstar we didn't know we needed ๐Ÿ™Œ. And that West Ham win over Leicester? I'm genuinely surprised... Rita Guarino must be doing something right ๐Ÿ˜‚.

It's all getting pretty intense down there at the bottom of the table too - Aston Villa's thrashing by Manchester United was a bit harsh, if you ask me ๐Ÿค•. But hey, the WSL is full of surprises!
