Alyssa Thompson scored the only goal as Chelsea secured a 1-0 win against Arsenal to end their unbeaten streak in the Women's Super League.
Arsenal failed to make their early dominance count after striking the post twice through Kim Little and Mariona Caldentey before Thompson broke the deadlock at Stamford Bridge.
Keira Walsh's strike from distance was initially well kept out by Anneke Borbe, but the goalkeeper was left helpless when Thompson pounced in the box to fire home the rebound in emphatic style.

The Gunners - who had drawn their last two WSL matches - improved in the second half, with Chloe Kelly's angled drive blocked and Alessia Russo's shot charged down, but the hosts saw out the closing stages for a third WSL win.
Their unbeaten streak in the WSL, stretching back to October 2025, came to an end with it. The Gunners had not tasted defeat in their last 20 games before their trip to west London.
Victory takes Chelsea to within two points of league leaders Manchester City at the top of the table, while Arsenal are already seven points adrift ahead of their meeting with the champions on October 4.
