Chelseas Unbeaten Streak Ends: Manchester City Takes Lead in Womens Super League Title RaceChelseas record-breaking 585-day unbeaten run in the Womens Super League came to a halt as Everton secured a surprising 1-0 victory, marking Chelseas first domestic league loss in 34 games. This result puts Manchester City six points clear at the top, with Citys ability to find a way to win, even when struggling, proving crucial in their current lead. Chelseas recent struggles have seen them drop points in their last three league matches. Despite dominating possession, taking 30 shots, and earning 18 corners, Chelsea couldnt find the back of the net, with former England international Fara Williams noting a deterioration in the teams confidence in the second half. The winning goal for Everton came from Honoka Hayashi, exposing a weakness in Chelseas defense. While this loss doesnt end Chelseas title hopes, it certainly makes the road ahead more challenging, with the upcoming match between these two teams on February first potentially being a decisive moment in the title race.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
