A series of controversies and surprises erupted across the Women's Super League (WSL) as several top teams experienced highs and lows in their respective matches. One of the most contentious issues involved Manchester United goalkeeper Tullis-Joyce, whose apparent injury time-wasting sparked heated debate among fans and pundits alike.
According to match reports, Dominique Janssen seemed to admit that Phallon Tullis-Joyce had feigned an injury to facilitate a tactical team talk with her teammates. However, the Manchester United manager Marc Skinner later disputed this claim, stating that Tullis-Joyce genuinely needed medical attention. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur's Ashleigh Neville enjoyed a triumphant return to her former club, scoring the only goal in their 1-0 victory over Leicester.
Another standout match saw Aston Villa overcome Brighton with remarkable resilience after conceding an early goal. The visitors showed remarkable composure and intensity to level the score before scoring twice to seal a 2-1 win.
In contrast, West Ham's woes continued as they suffered a crushing 5-0 defeat at Chelsea, courtesy of Rita Guarino's embarrassing earring-related delay that prevented her from making her debut.
The league table sees Manchester City Women and Tottenham Hotspur Women still vying for top spot with 33 points each, followed closely by Arsenal Women on 23. Meanwhile, Leicester Women remain at the bottom after a dismal run of results.
