Chelsea Close on WSL Title, Palace Face Relegation

Chelsea Women moved six points clear at the top of the WSL with a 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace, bringing them close to a sixth straight league title with three matches remaining. Manager Sonia Bompastor rotated her squad ahead of a Champions League semi-final, but Chelsea's dominance was evident as Catarina Macario scored twice and Mia Fishel marked her return from injury with a goal. Crystal Palace, reduced to ten players after Allyson Swaby's red card, now face relegation unless they win their next game. Chelsea have already clinched the League Cup and are set to compete in the FA Cup final, aiming for a domestic treble. The match underlined Chelsea's squad depth and Crystal Palace's struggles at the bottom. The WSL continues its evolution under new management, focusing on the growth of women's football in England.
