As it happened: Chelsea 3-1 Manchester City

Chelsea and Manchester City face off today in the biggest game of the Women’s Super League season so far.

Emma Hayes’ side were awarded the title last season on a points-per-game basis due to the coronavirus pandemic despite the campaign ending with Man City above them as they had played one game more.

Will Gareth Taylor’s side exact revenge today?

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

13 min: Brilliant move from Chelsea as Cuthbert finds Kerr and the Australian plays in Harder first time. The former Wolfsburg striker takes a touch and just waits too long as the chance falls away from her. Had to pull the trigger quicker there.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

15 min: Cuthbert running this game at the moment as she drives through and finds Harder again. This time she does get her shot away but it’s blocked by Bonner and spins away for a corner.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

16 min: The corner clips a head on its way and then finds Kerr at the back post. The 27-year-old swings a boot at it but it’s well over the bar.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

19 min: Another little dip in the game but Chelsea are well on top now. City have not been able to get Kelly or White into the game whatsoever in the last ten minutes.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

20 min: Harder has a shoot on site mentality today. She tries her luck again from the edge of the penalty area but it’s high and wide again.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

22 min: Kirby sprints down the right hand side and whips a ball in towards Kerr but it’s cut out by Houghton.

City then lose the ball again on the edge of their own area but Chelsea don’t take advantage and instead play backwards to Millie Bright.

City look very shaky.

25 min: CHANCE! Mewis charges through the middle of the Chelsea defence and let’s rip…off the post! Berger was beaten and that is the closest we have come to the deadlock being broken.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

27 min: We’ve had a break in play here as Steph Houghton receives treatment after going down with a calf problem. Looks like she fell on it from the resulting corner after Mewis’ effort.

City will need her if they want to keep a clean sheet in this one.

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

29 min: Houghton is back up and we resume. Been an entertaining spectacle so far. Not the sort of game that NEEDS a goal, but would be nice to get one…

Chelsea 0-0 Manchester City

32 min: City are just getting their foot on the ball and trying to keep possession for a sustained period of time. But Chelsea are pressing superbly, pinning City into their own half.
