Match report: Arsenal Women 1-4 Chelsea

A frustrating afternoon saw us lose to Barclays FA Women’s Super League title-rivals Chelsea at a sold-out Meadow Park.

The visitors started strongly and took the lead inside 10 minutes when the ball broke to Bethany England on the edge of the box. She took a touch and curled an unstoppable shot into the top corner.

Chelsea doubled their advantage shortly after, when a whipped cross picked out an unmarked Sam Kerr to head home from close range.

Our first opportunity of the afternoon fell to Katie McCabe, who collected the ball behind the Blues backline, but saw her effort from a tight angle saved well by Ann-Katrin Berger.
