Chelsea WSL title hopes derailed by stunning 4-3 loss to Liverpool

Chelsea's bid to make it five Women's Super League titles in a row suffered a huge setback on Wednesday as they lost a 4-3 thriller to Liverpool, seriously denting the possibility of the Blues giving manager Emma Hayes a winning send-off. Liverpool secured their second successive home victory over Hayes's side as the two sides scored six goals between them in a see-saw second half that will long live in the memory of those lucky to witness the classic encounter. Hayes, who will take over as U.S. head coach at the end of the season, has seen her side lose the Continental Cup final to Arsenal, an FA Cup semi-final to Manchester United and their Champions League semi-final to Barcelona in recent weeks, and Wednesday's defeat puts Manchester City in the driving seat.
