Aston Villa snatch late equaliser to deny Chelsea in WSL opener
Aston Villa scored a late equaliser against the run of play to hold Chelsea to a draw, costing them their first dropped points of the new Women's Super League season.
Chelsea's start to the Women's Super League (WSL) season hit a snag after Aston Villa fought back for a share of the points in a recent fixture.
Despite Chelsea dominating much of the match, Villa managed to find a breakthrough late on, scoring an equaliser that came against the run of play. The late goal denied Chelsea what had looked like a routine victory and instead ended the contest level.
The result marks the first time this season that Chelsea have failed to win a WSL match, suggesting the title race may already be shaping up to be closely contested despite Chelsea's usual dominance in the competition.
