It was a true top-of-the-table clash as Casey Stoney’s Reds travelled south as league leaders, three points ahead of the hosts in second place.
Unfortunately, it was not to be United's day. The Blues took the lead after 30 minutes when Pernille Harder capitalised following enormous Chelsea pressure following a corner. That lead was cancelled out by Lauren James’ wonderfully curled effort on the hour-mark. Shortly after our equaliser, Fran Kirby put the Blues back in front to make sure the game ended 2-1 to Emma Hayes' side.
The result means the Reds' unbeaten league run ends at eleven games and Chelsea move above us in the WSL table on goal difference, with the Blues also having a game in hand.
