Chelsea lost unbeaten streak to Everton
Thirty-four matches. That’s how long Chelsea had gone unbeaten. But as of Sunday, 6 December, that no longer holds. Everton stunned Chelsea in the 12th minute—on their own home ground no less—striking with a single goal.
- The only goal came early: Honoka Hayashi scored in the 12th minute, giving Everton a surprise away win.
- Meanwhile, Manchester City Women took full advantage: a convincing 3:0 win vs Leicester City Women moved them six points clear at the top of the table. With Chelsea’s defeat, the gap at the top has opened — Manchester City now look strong favourites to claim the title, sitting six points clear.
For Chelsea, the loss ends a period of domination and raises the stakes for every remaining game if they hope to challenge for top spot.
