Alyssa Thompson scored the only goal as Chelsea secured a 1-0 win against Arsenal to end their unbeaten streak in the Women's Super League.

Arsenal failed to make their early dominance count after striking the post twice through Kim Little and Mariona Caldentey before Thompson broke the deadlock at Stamford Bridge.

Keira Walsh's strike from distance was initially well kept out by Anneke Borbe, but the goalkeeper was left helpless when Thompson pounced in the box to fire home the rebound in emphatic style.

Their search for an equaliser fell short, and their unbeaten streak in the WSL, stretching back to October 2025, came to an end with it. The Gunners had not tasted defeat in their last 20 games before their trip to west London.

Victory takes Chelsea to within two points of league leaders Manchester City at the top of the table, while Arsenal are already seven points adrift ahead of their meeting with the champions on October 4.
