Sonia Bompastor's remarkable start in the Women's Super League (WSL) continued as Chelsea secured a 1-0 victory over Manchester United at Kingsmeadow. This win marked Chelsea's eighth consecutive triumph in the league, extending their lead to five points ahead of second-placed Manchester City. Bompastor's impressive performance as the new manager is particularly notable given that the team is still adapting to her coaching style following her arrival from Lyon. The match showcased a contrast between the two managers: Bompastor, enjoying an unbeaten run, and Marc Skinner, who is facing increasing pressure at United. After three full seasons at the helm, Skinner's position is under scrutiny, especially following this defeat, which adds to three previous draws, leaving United in fifth place in the league. The presence of "Skinner out" signs among fans reflects the growing discontent, fueled by the recent departures of players and their comments in interviews.

Chelsea maintained their impressive start to the season with a convincing 3-1 victory over FC Twente, showcasing the potential of their young talents, Aggie Beever-Jones and Maika Hamano. Under the guidance of new manager Sonia Bompastor, the Blues have hit the ground running, and this win places them at the top of Group B in the Champions League. With this result, Chelsea sits three points ahead of Twente and second-placed Real Madrid, while Celtic finds themselves at the bottom in their first European campaign. The future looks bright for Chelsea as they continue to build momentum in the tournament.
