In the event that Chelsea dropped points against Bristol City on Sunday night, Gareth Taylor’s team, who were hoping to give departing captain Steph Houghton the ideal send-off at Joie Stadium, knew success would offer them an opportunity to win the WSL title.
Then everything was altered.
Just hours before Chelsea ran wild to defeat Bristol City 8-0, Arsenal upset City with a 2-1 victory thanks to a spectacular late double from Stina Blackstenius.
Now, City might have to wait until the last day of the season to play Emma Hayes’ team in a thrilling finale.
