In a Barclays Women’s Super League match, Crystal Palace FC initially took the lead against Chelsea FC. Veteran defender Molly Bartrip scored the opening goal for Crystal Palace in the 20th minute with a header from a corner kick. Chelsea, playing without key player Lauren James, found themselves trailing.

However, Melvine Malard stepped up for Chelsea, leveling the score with a superb long-range effort six minutes into the second half. Malard then secured her second goal of the day, assisted by Sandy Baltimore. Baltimore later converted a penalty kick, earned by the centre-forward, to add Chelsea's third goal, despite Crystal Palace's goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin nearly making the save. Chelsea ultimately won the match. Their next fixture is against AS Roma in the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
