  • Arsenal held out for 84 minutes but unbeaten Chelsea made it 11 wins from 12 games to take a nine-point lead in the WSL. Oh, and they just signed the world's best defender.

The article discusses the dominance of Chelsea in the Women's Super League (WSL) and how their squad depth significantly contributes to their success, making the title race one-sided. Chelsea's ability to rotate players without a drop in performance quality has been a key factor, especially highlighted by their recent 3-0 victory over Aston Villa. The signing of USWNT defender Naomi Girma is mentioned as an addition that only strengthens their already formidable team. Despite the competitive nature of the league, Chelsea's strategic depth and quality in every position make them the favorites to win the title again, potentially securing a fifth consecutive championship. The article also touches on the broader implications for the league, suggesting that while Chelsea's dominance might be good for their fans, it could be less exciting for neutral observers and might affect the competitive balance of the WSL.
