Arsenal's unbeaten streak ends at 20 matches after Chelsea's 1-0 win

Chelsea claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, ending the Gunners' unbeaten streak in the Women's Super League. Alyssa Thompson scored the decisive goal, capitalising on a rebound in the box after Keira Walsh's long-range effort was initially saved. Arsenal had earlier dominated the match, hitting the post twice through Kim Little and Mariona Caldentey, but could not convert their chances into goals.

Despite their early pressure, Arsenal struggled to find the back of the net. In the second half, they continued to push for an equaliser, with Chloe Kelly's angled shot being blocked and Alessia Russo's effort also thwarted. Chelsea's defence held firm, allowing them to secure the win and maintain their position in the league.

This result marked the end of Arsenal's impressive unbeaten run, which had lasted since October 2025 and included 20 matches without a loss. The defeat is a setback for the Gunners, who had drawn their last two WSL games prior to this match and now face a challenging fixture against Manchester City next.

Chelsea's victory brings them within two points of league leaders Manchester City, intensifying the competition at the top of the table. The win also highlights Chelsea's strong form, as they continue to build momentum in the league. Arsenal, on the other hand, will need to regroup quickly to address their recent struggles as they prepare for their upcoming matches.
