Soccer-Manchester City go top of WSL as Chelsea stumble against Everton

Chelsea lost the Women’s Super League top spot after being held 1-1 at home by Everton, with an own goal proving decisive. On Saturday in London, a header by Chelsea defender Lucy Bronze set up Sandy Baltimore’s close-range opener in the 28th minute. Five minutes later, Bronze’s attempted clearance rolled into her own net to level the match. Chelsea, who had not dropped points since the season’s opening round, were unable to retake the lead. Manchester City moved above them after running through West Ham United 5-0, where Bunny Shaw scored a hat-trick and Aoba Fujino and Iman Beney added goals. After nine games, City topped the table with 25 points, two ahead of Chelsea.
