"Chelsea got back to winning ways in the Women's Super League with a comfortable 3-0 win over Brighton at Broadfield Stadium. Having seen their record-breaking 34-match unbeaten streak ended by Everton last weekend, Sonia Bompastor's side responded in style in their final match of 2025. Chelsea dominated the first half and saw Keira Walsh hit the post with a long-range drive before Sandy Baltimore's persistence finally paid off three minutes before the break."
"The France international had seen an effort tipped over by Sophie Baggaley, who had also kept out Alyssa Thompson's diving header, but Baltimore cut inside to curl a lovely finish into the top-right corner. Six minutes after the restart, substitute Sam Kerr's pressure paid off as Caitlin Hayes headed Erin Cuthbert's delivery into her own net while trying to hold off the forward."
"Weike Kaptein and Kerr both forced Baggaley into action again, but it was Thompson who wrapped up the three points by converting the Australian's low cross in from close range. Chelsea had chances to add to their tally late on without any luck, but the win was enough to see them leapfrog Arsenal into second, six points behind leaders Manchester City."
