WSL

Chelsea are six points away from securing a third successive league title after commanding performance at Kingsmeadow.

It was the most delicate back-heel that would dominate the highlight reels though, as she duped Harrop with ease and ran around her to calmly dink a cross through to Kerr at the near post, who headed in her 18th goal of the season. The goal was mostly credit to Pernille Harder, who had a superb match. That was largely because Chelsea were back to their dominant selves, in a relentless - if not ruthless - mood.

Goals from Beth England and Sam Kerr earned Chelsea a 2-1 win over Tottenham to keep them on course for the WSL title.

“You know what, we were talking about it before the game, it’s the same as last year, we were two points off City,” said Kerr. “One point, two points, it’s just one game, we’re in exactly the same position – and we play for Chelsea, we love this stuff.” Central to Chelsea’s dominance was Harder who, playing wide but operating fluidly in combination with Kerr and England, pulled the strings, creating space and tracking back in equal measure. She was right, it mattered little, two games, two wins and Chelsea will secure the title. Chelsea would almost score, with Erin Cuthbert driving forward before rattling a powerful shot off the base of the post. Dang, should have 19 [in the league this season] then eh,” said Kerr with a grin. There is something about the character of these Chelsea players that means they always bite back harder, and Spurs had just poked the bear.

Chelsea walked away with a 2-1 win over Spurs in what could be a title-deciding win, Sam Kerr scored the winner in first-half stoppage time to seal the win.

Kerr's goal marks her 40th goal in the WSL, securing Chelsea a 2-1 win over Spurs in what could be the decider for the WSL title.

Spurs would show that only a couple of minutes before the end of the first half with horrid defending on a set piece. And then Beth England, having already made a long-range attempt that had no chance of hitting the target, did everything in the right way with our opening goal. Captain Magda Eriksson narrowly missed the target with a header, and a good Erin Cuthbert attempt after Guro Reiten’s cross was blocked by a Tottenham defender.

Chelsea remain on course to defend their Women's Super League crown after securing a second victory over Tottenham in the space of five days.

Erin Cuthbert struck a post late on as the hosts, who have remaining games at Birmingham and at home to Manchester United, claimed a precious three points. The Blues had beaten Spurs 3-1 away from home on Sunday and triumphed again in the return fixture, this time running out 2-1 winners at Kingsmeadow thanks to goals from Sam Kerr and Beth England.

ST: Beth England - 7/10 - Rose highest to meet Andersson's cross and head Chelsea into the lead. Quickly brought down to earth by Harder in the lead-up to Chelsea's second. Struggled to deal with the lively Chelsea left at times. CM: Erin Cuthbert - 7/10 - Still fizzing with energy after putting in such a shift four days earlier. Such a fabulous crosser of the ball Erin Cuthbert opted to play a short corner, Jonna Andersson whipped in a wicked left-footed cross and England headed home.

Sam Kerr says Chelsea are prepared to “grind” their way to the Women's Super League title after battling past Tottenham last night.

There are two games to go and we’re just going to grind through. If we get all six points we’re champions.” “We just have to control what we can do and get the three points each game and we’re praying Chelsea slip up,” Beth Mead added.

Make or Break's behind-the-scenes look at the World Surf League engages fans and non-fans alike even if some hard questions remain ignored.

Left unremarked is the profound philosophical shift prompted by wave pool surfing for a sport and past-time founded on a deep, even spiritual connection to the sea. “It would be a moment in women’s surfing history ... but at the same time, farrkkk it’s Pipe,” laughs Wright while weighing up the switch (she ultimately won the event). Pipeline now permanently hosts both the men’s and women’s competition, a positive development – albeit the sport’s lingering gender inequality remains evident in Make or Break, which focuses disproportionately on the men’s competition across the series. Given Make or Break was produced in partnership with the WSL, it is surprising that the first season engages more fully with some of surfing’s own pitfalls. The show is unafraid to explore the gritty reality of life on tour, with heartfelt and revealing interviews. Make or Break, an entertaining seven-part series, is the latest attempt by the surfing elite to capitalise on its popularity. But the show’s real triumph is its ability to engage surfing fans and non-fans alike with well-told stories.

The Toffees have lost against each of the top four in recent weeks. TV channel/live stream? Carla Ward has taken the team to a new level in her first season in charge, although Arsenal should have too much for them here.

“There is a massive need for improvement there to make the league more fair and more competitive and that there are rules that are stuck to. But this is a very tough league, we have to win all of our matches and that is where our energy and focus is.” I didn’t focus on Chelsea when they were rearranging their fixtures in January so that Sam Kerr didn’t have to miss games because of the Asia Cup and I don’t focus on them now. “It was a very, very difficult game for so many different reasons with players coming back from holidays and COVID, players leaving for the Asia Cup, new players not being eligible yet. I focus on Arsenal getting as many points as possible and seeing where that gets us in the table.” Clubs were not asked to publicly declare how many COVID cases they had in their squads and it’s an issue Eidevall has consistently called for greater scrutiny on.
