Football Review | Liverpool 1 - 1 Chelsea
A frustrated Chelsea dropped points in the Women's Super League title race.
They were held by a still winless Liverpool

Stadium | St Helens Stadium
The champions missed a chance to go within one point of leaders Manchester City, having taken the lead through Alyssa Thompson, who cut inside on to her right foot and curled in a brilliant finish in the ninth minute.
But Liverpool levelled in the 33rd minute when Lily Woodham played in Beata Olsson, who outpaced Millie Bright, covered half of the pitch and converted her one-on-one finish.
In the second half, Chelsea's Aggie Beever-Jones had a goal disallowed for offside after rounding goalkeeper Faye Kirby, and the striker also saw an effort drop just wide a few minutes later.

By avoiding defeat, Chelsea set a new WSL record of 34 unbeaten matches, but the mood at full-time was far from jubilant.
Chelsea stay second, three points off the top, while Liverpool, despite their fine result, drop to the bottom of the WSL following West Ham’s big win over Everton.
After the match, the Chelsea fans applauded their players as they always do. Given the unpredictability of the competition this season, it remains to be seen if this is one point gained or two points dropped.

Jane was in the away end in St Helens, after the match she messaged us this: “There was an almost blunt edge to our attack, and Liverpool were able to carve out chances of their own on the counter, sending us into occasional moments of disarray.”
Aimee added: “Still a long way to go, but the team is not functioning right. Either the players are not buying into the system or the system is not right for this team.”
