There was plenty of entertainment for neutrals and ample chances for both teams to win it but, ultimately, Chelsea and Manchester United had to settle for a draw that maintained their unbeaten starts to the Women’s Super League season, on a night when the United manager Marc Skinner believed his team made a big statement of their intent.
The 1-1 draw extended United’s agonisingly long wait for a first WSL victory against Chelsea but ended the defending champions’ 100% start and United will have taken great encouragement from a performance that showed they may well have the qualities to mount a serious title challenge.
