The Blues’ unstoppable march in the Women’s Super League continued on Sunday as they secured a resounding 3-0 victory over Liverpool at the Totally Wicked Stadium. The win extended Chelsea’s perfect start to the season, making it six wins out of six under the guidance of their new manager Sonia Bompastor. The French tactician has quickly stamped her authority on the side, becoming the first WSL manager to win their first four away games.
Bompastor’s Blues Setting New Standards
Chelsea’s latest triumph was their second in Merseyside in as many weeks, following on from their 5-0 demolition of Everton at Goodison Park. While Liverpool put up more of a fight than their city rivals, they were ultimately outclassed by a Chelsea team that looks determined to rewrite the WSL record books.
Ramirez Opens the Scoring
The Blues took the lead through Colombian striker Mayra Ramirez, who notched her third goal of the season after teammate Johanna Rytting Kaneryd had struck the crossbar. Ramirez’s clinical finishing has been a key factor in Chelsea’s flying start, providing a cutting edge to complement their dominant possession play.
Mayra has been brilliant for us so far this season. She’s always in the right place at the right time and her goals have been crucial.
– Chelsea captain Magda Eriksson
Reiten Punishes Slack Defending
Norwegian winger Guro Reiten doubled Chelsea’s advantage shortly before half-time, capitalizing on some slack defending from the hosts. Reiten’s intelligence and movement off the ball have made her a constant threat, and her understanding with Ramirez and England forward Fran Kirby has been a joy to watch.
- Reiten has now scored in three consecutive WSL matches
- The Norwegian has 4 goals and 5 assists in all competitions this season
Beever-Jones Adds Gloss to the Scoreline
Young English striker Aggie Beever-Jones came off the bench to add a third goal in stoppage time, applying a close-range finish to complete a comfortable afternoon’s work for the Blues. The 19-year-old’s development has been carefully managed by Bompastor, and her cameo appearances have yielded three goals already this term.

With the win, Chelsea maintained their five-point lead at the summit of the WSL table, ahead of Arsenal and Manchester City. Their relentless form, coupled with the strength in depth of their squad, has many pundits tipping them to achieve a historic quadruple this season.
We have a special group here and the spirit within the camp is fantastic. We’re taking things one game at a time, but we know we have the quality to achieve something incredible this year.
– Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor
For Liverpool, the defeat leaves them languishing in mid-table, with just two wins from their opening seven matches. Manager Matt Beard will hope to use the upcoming international break to regroup and find a way to reignite his side’s campaign.
Chelsea, meanwhile, look unstoppable. With Bompastor at the helm and a squad packed with world-class talent, the Blues seem destined to etch their name into WSL history. Their perfect start has laid the foundations for what could be a truly unforgettable season.
