Chelsea Dominates Crystal Palace 7-0 in a Stunning Women's Super League Performance
Chelsea delivered an emphatic 7-0 victory over Crystal Palace in their Women's Super League clash, showcasing a dominant display at Selhurst Park. This triumph highlighted the gap between the WSL's elite teams and newly promoted sides like Palace, who were making their WSL home debut. While Palace started the match with resilience and a well-organized defense, Chelsea’s class and firepower eventually overwhelmed them.
The first half saw Palace put up a commendable fight, with Indiah-Paige Riley even coming close to shocking the visitors with a well-timed effort. However, Chelsea’s patience paid off when Aggie Beever-Jones broke the deadlock late in the first half, capitalizing on a clinical cross from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd. That goal was a turning point, and despite Palace’s efforts to level, they couldn’t convert their few chances into goals.

The second half belonged entirely to Chelsea, and Lucy Bronze, making her mark in a Chelsea shirt, scored her first goal for the club just minutes after the restart. Her precise strike from the edge of the box put the game beyond Palace's reach and opened the floodgates for more. Lauren James then added a third before Guro Reiten made it 4-0 with a sharp finish.
As Palace struggled to keep up, Chelsea’s momentum only grew. Nathalie Björn and Reiten continued the scoring spree, with Reiten netting her second of the day. By the time Catarina Macario struck the seventh and final goal, the difference in class was apparent, and the result became a statement win for Chelsea.
While Palace showed promise, particularly in the first half, the intensity and pace of the WSL posed a challenge that they’ll need time to adjust to. Chelsea, on the other hand, seemed to be firing on all cylinders, building on their opening-day win with a performance that will send a clear message to their title rivals. The large 7-0 scoreline ensures Chelsea maintains an early-season momentum as they pursue another WSL title.
