Football – Chelsea and Arsenal play goalless stalemate in tight WSL feud

LONDON: Title rivals Chelsea and Arsenal canceled each other out in a 0-0 draw in the Women’s Super League on Friday.

Defending champions Chelsea knew a win would see them climb back to the top of the table as Emma Hess’ side chased down a third consecutive league title, but the hosts opened little of note.

League leaders Arsenal had the better of a few chances in the match, with Vivian Miedema making a fierce strike against Post in the first half and several last-ditch blocks denying him in the second period.

Chelsea, who had survived two Golmouth scuffles of late, had a big appeal against Leah Williamson for a stoppage-time penalty at the other end for handball, as they had to settle for a point.

The stalemate means Arsenal remain on top with 31 points from 14 matches played, two points ahead of Chelsea, who have played one game more than their title rivals.
