Hammers holds Chelsea

West Ham held Chelsea today in the Women’s Super League to a 1-1 score draw at Kingsmeadow in Surrey in front of a crowd of 2,854.

The Chelsea hosts opened the scoring three minutes before half-time when Beth England headed in Erin Cuthbert’s free-kick.

But West Ham equalised with a header from ex-Blues defender Gilly Flaherty. Chelsea were playing in their first fixture since their 3-2 aggregate win over PSG in the quarter-finals of the Women’s Champions League.

Matt Beard’s West Ham side remain seventh in the WSL table while Chelsea stays third.
