"Chelsea remind Man City, rest of WSL why they're No. 1 Aggie Beever-Jones netted the Blues' final goal at Stamford Bridge last season to conclude their domestic treble-winning campaign and the 21-year-old, fresh off a Euros triumph with England, netted the opening goal of this term. It was a comfortable performance for Chelsea in the end, adding a second goal through Maika Hamano before a Niamh Charles own goal gifted one back for City."
"Arsenal then took their turn on Saturday, coming from a goal down to beat London City Lionesses 4-1 at Emirates Stadium. Michelle Kang's newly-promoted side have shown the size of their ambition with a series of big-name summer signings, but it was Arsenal's big-money arrival Olivia Smith who shone brightest as the Gunners began their title tilt with gusto."
The 2025-26 Women's Super League season opened with strong statements from Chelsea and Arsenal. Chelsea continued their dominant form, maintaining Sonia Bompastor's unbeaten run with a 2-1 victory over Manchester City, featuring a goal from Aggie Beever-Jones and a strike from Maika Hamano, while a Niamh Charles own goal reduced the deficit for City. Arsenal recovered from a goal down to defeat newly-promoted London City Lionesses 4-1 at the Emirates, with Olivia Smith standing out amid the visitors' ambitious summer signings. Both results mark early signs of a competitive title race between the two clubs.
