Matildas star continues remarkable WSL goalscoring run in huge win
Ellie Carpenter continues to hit the score sheet as Chelsea records a huge win in the WSL, while Kyra Cooney-Cross's Arsenal is frustrated after a home draw.
Australia's Ellie Carpenter continues an impressive streak of goal-scoring in the Women's Super League (WSL), netting her fifth goal of the season as Chelsea secured a convincing 6-0 victory over Charlton Athletic. Chelsea finds itself tied on points with reigning champions Manchester City, who defeated London City 2-1, thanks to an assist from Mary Fowler.
Matildas stars Caitlin Foord, Kyra Cooney-Cross, and Steph Catley were left disappointed as Aston Villa held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw at their home stadium. Despite coming off the bench, Fowler delivered a crucial assist in the 72nd minute, setting up a late goal by Lauren Hemp, which kept Manchester City in contention for the title.
Chelsea's coach, Sonia Bompastor, has been experimenting with more attacking tactics, and her efforts have paid off, as Carpenter has become a regular goal threat, contributing to the team's dominance.
