The WSL kicked off again at the weekend after a short break
which saw Arsenal and Oxford United collecting their first wins of the season.
Saturday saw 2 games in the WSL 2 with Reading beating Aston
Villa 3-1 and Sunderland winning 2-0 against newcomers Yeovil Town which puts
them top of the WSL 2 table.
The other WSL 3 games were played on Sunday afternoon. The Millwall Lionesses and Donny Belles played
out a 0-0 draw. Durham lost 2-1 at home
to Oxford United while the spectators at The Hive were entertained with a 9 goal
thriller London Bees losing 5-4 to
Watford. Midfielder Kate Natkiel bagged
a hat trick for Watford in this fixture.
It was a great weekend for women’s football fans like me who
live too far away to attend games as 2 of the WSL 1 games were live on BT
Sport. Arsenal got their first win of
the campaign with a win over the champions Liverpool. Casey Stoney headed in the only goal of the
game in the 55th minute.
The second game at the Select Stadium saw Everton take on
Chelsea. Nikita Parris and Eniola Aluko
had the team’s level until Chelsea’s new signing Portuguese striker Ana Borges
came on as a sub and bagged the winner for the London side.
In the other WSL 1
fixture, Birmingham beat Manchester City 2-0 with goals from Kirsty Linnett and
Kerys Harrop keeping them top of the table with an unbeaten record in the
league so far.
