Chelsea spark WSL race with 8-goal win, City loss

Key Facts

A superb late brace by substitute Stina Blackstenius gave Arsenal a 2-1 win over Manchester City that re-ignited the Women's Super League on Sunday, throwing a lifeline to Chelsea in a title race that had appeared to be done and dusted.
With 21 of their 22 league games played, City top the standings on 52 points, three ahead of Chelsea and five ahead of Arsenal, but the Blues have a game in hand and they obliterated City's goal difference advantage with an 8-0 thrashing of already-relegated Bristol City late on Sunday.
The glut of goals enabled Chelsea to wipe out City's goal difference advantage, and the Blues now have a one-goal lead over their title rivals that could prove vital in the run-in.
That defeat came a day after Spurs came back from going two goals down in the opening 15 minutes to draw 2-2 at Everton, while Alisha Lehmann got the only goal of the game as Aston Villa won 1-0 away to Brighton & Hove Albion.
