Chelsea 3 United Women 1

All the goals came in the first half at Kingsmeadow, with Pernille Harder and Jessie Fleming putting the hosts 2-0 up before Vilde Boe Risa pulled one back, though Jessica Carter struck a third soon after.

The result also ends what had been an impressive run of seven wins in a row in all competitions for the Reds without conceding a goal.

FIRST HALF

The hosts nearly carved out an early chance with a quick passing move involving Guro Reiten, Jessie Fleming and Pernille Harder. Having worked the ball to the edge of the box, Harder might have unleashed a shot if it wasn’t for the quick intervention of Maria Thorisdottir, who closed down the attacker leaving Sophie Baggaley to gather the ball easily.
