Chelsea ascended to the summit of the Women's Super League standings with a 2-0 triumph against Manchester City on Saturday. Second-half goals from Mayra Ramirez and Guro Reiten propelled Chelsea past their visitors, securing their seventh consecutive league victory.

The match was characterized by strategic plays, as Chelsea allowed City to dominate possession, resulting in limited shots on target from both sides. The breakthrough came in the 75th minute when Ramirez maneuvered past City's defense, courtesy of a pass from Maika Hamano, to score the opening goal.

Shortly thereafter, Guro Reiten doubled the lead, capitalizing on a failed clearance from City to curl the ball into the net. This victory positions Chelsea two points ahead of second-placed City, with Brighton & Hove Albion trailing in third place. Meanwhile, Arsenal's 3-0 win over Tottenham advanced them to fourth in the league.
