Chelsea lost more ground at the top of the Women's Super League (WSL) after being held to a 1-1 draw by Liverpool in St Helens, although the Blues still set a new league record of 34 successive games unbeaten. The visitors, looking to close back to within a point of leaders Manchester City following their impressive derby win on Saturday, took an early lead through Alyssa Thompson, but Beata Olsson equalised before the break.
Just a year ago Crystal Palace were 18th in the Premier League and worryingly without a win. Now last term's FA Cup winners are on the longest stretch of games without defeat in their 120-year history after claiming a memorable first away victory in Europe against Dynamo Kyiv in the Conference League. With three wins and three draws, Oliver Glasner's high-flying Eagles sit third in the top flight with the only unbeaten record, having ended leaders Liverpool's own successful start.
