Published on: 06 November 2021

Chelsea go joint top of the Women's Super League table with a comfortable 1-0 win over Aston Villa at Banks's Stadium.

The visitors sealed their fifth WSL win in a row thanks to a tidy finish from Jessie Fleming in the first half, tucking away a delicately weighted ball from Ji So-Yun over the Villa backline.

Villa came close to equalising in the final seconds of the game through Sarah Mayling, but Ann-Katrin Berger came to the rescue with a fine save.

The result lifts the WSL holders onto 15 points and equal with leaders Arsenal, only trailing by goal difference. For Villa, their third loss in a row keeps them in seventh on seven points.
