Second-half goals from Beth Mead and Mariona Caldentey leave Chelsea six points behind leaders Manchester City.

After an even but goalless first half, Beth Mead slotted Arsenal in front ten minutes after the break and Mariona Caldentey doubled the lead just after the hour. Chelsea let a series of promising chances go begging and are now six points behind leaders Manchester City, who play eighth-placed London City Lionesses today.

A brilliant night in the end for Liverpool, who storm back to net a 4-1 win over Newcastle on Merseyside. A brace from Hugo Ekitike and another night of direct contributions from Florian Wirtz highlight a big result for Arne Slot's troops.

Chelsea seldom threatened to claim the points and now sit six points behind WSL leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand. The hosts had gone into the game on a high after extending their winning run to seven games in all competitions with a midweek victory at City in the Women's League Cup semi-finals.
