Chelsea Women Edge Past Manchester United Women in Tense Kingsmeadow Clash
Chelsea Women secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United Women at Kingsmeadow, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, in a matchday 3 FA WSL 2024 encounter. The game, officiated by E. Heaslip, was characterized by Chelsea’s resolute defence and Manchester United’s inability to convert chances.
A penalty converted by Guro Reiten in the 17th minute proved to be the decisive goal. Manchester United, with significantly less possession (32%), struggled to create clear-cut opportunities, managing only one shot on target. In contrast, Chelsea dominated possession (68%) and created several goal-scoring chances, although they failed to add to their tally.
Discipline was an issue for the visiting team, who accumulated four yellow cards (Tullis-Joyce, Williams, Clinton, and Janssen). Chelsea received one yellow card in injury time (Cuthbert). Despite the narrow scoreline, Chelsea Women’s control of the game and the statistics reflect their superiority.
