Manchester City prove their mettle as Chelsea's historic winning streak comes to an end, while Tottenham Hotspur continue to show signs of improvement under new manager Martin Ho.
Manchester City's 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday marked a significant shift in the team's mentality. The win came after a period where the team was struggling with injuries and surprise defeats, but City demonstrated a unity and composure that has eluded many title hopefuls in recent seasons. Manager Andrรฉe Jeglertz praised his players' professionalism and calmness, saying that they are "showing patience, trust, and belief" in each other.
In contrast, Chelsea's historic 34-game unbeaten run came to an end at the hands of Everton on Sunday. Despite having 79% possession and 30 shots on goal, Chelsea could not capitalize on their chances and ultimately paid the price, leaving them six points behind league leaders Manchester City. Manager Sonia Bompastor acknowledged that her team created enough chances but were unable to be clinical.
Tottenham Hotspur's revival under new manager Martin Ho is also showing signs of progress. The team's 2-1 comeback against Aston Villa in their most recent match highlighted the importance of a never-say-never attitude, with England scoring the winning goal after being injured in the second half. Tottenham's performances have been promising, particularly in Saturday's win over Arsenal and back-to-back points earned against Brighton and Chelsea.
West Ham United's struggles with set-pieces continue to be a problem, conceding from seven of their ten league games so far this season. Despite a familiar theme of conceding from set-pieces being undone the team showed signs of improvement in their 2-1 loss to Manchester United. Manager Rehanne Skinner was not too downbeat after the defeat and praised her players' attitude and belief.
Gareth Taylor, Liverpool's manager, is now calling for signings as his side continues to struggle with resources. The performances of his team have been promising, particularly in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Arsenal and back-to-back points earned against Brighton and Chelsea. However, the need for new players could be crucial in determining the team's top-flight status.
Finally, Chiamaka Nnadozie has emerged as one of the signings of the season so far, impressing with her shot-stopping ability in Brighton's narrow 1-0 win over London City Lionesses. The Nigerian goalkeeper has made the joint highest number of stops in the league and boasts an impressive save percentage.
