WSL: City Reclaim Top Spot After Everton Win
Liverpool Draw Keeps Them in Title Hunt
Chelsea's Win Sends Them Back on Top
Manchester City returned to the summit of the Women's Super League standings on Thursday, April 18, 2024, following a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. With their win, City moved three points clear of second-placed Chelsea, who had briefly occupied the top spot after their victory earlier in the day.
City's goals came from Lauren James and Khadija Shaw, with Everton's consolation strike coming from Toni Duggan. The victory was City's ninth in a row in the WSL and their 13th in all competitions this season. It also marked the first time they have beaten Everton in the league since 2021.
Liverpool moved up to fourth in the table after a scrappy goalless draw at Aston Villa. The result was a frustrating one for Liverpool, who had the better of the chances but were unable to find a way past a resolute Villa defense.
Chelsea returned to the top of the table with a commanding 3-0 win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Sam Kerr, Fran Kirby, and Guro Reiten sealed the victory for Chelsea, who now sit three points clear of Manchester City with two games remaining in the season.
