Chelsea Dominates Crystal Palace, Nears Sixth WSL Title

Chelsea strengthened their lead at the top of the Women's Super League by defeating Crystal Palace 4-0, moving six points clear with only three games left in the season. Guro Reiten opened the scoring with a penalty before Catarina Macario added two goals—one from open play and another from a deflected free-kick—while Mia Fishel completed the rout. The win keeps Chelsea unbeaten and on the verge of securing their sixth consecutive league title, which could be clinched as early as their next match against Manchester United. Crystal Palace, meanwhile, remain at the bottom of the table and are on the brink of relegation after Allyson Swaby was sent off early in the second half, leaving them with ten players. Several Chelsea regulars were rested ahead of their Champions League semi-final second leg against Barcelona, yet the team showed depth and composure. Captain Millie Bright marked her 200th WSL appearance, underscoring the team's experience and dominance.
