ShareLucy Bronze was the unlikely villain for Chelsea, whose seven-match winning streak in the Women's Super League came to an end.Chelsea lost their grip on top spot in the Women's Super League after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton.Lucy Bronze's own goal cancelled out Sandy Baltimore's earlier strike at Stamford Bridge, where the Blues saw their seven-match winning streak brought to an end.Sonia Bompastor's side made a bright start and made their pressure tell in the 28th minute.The hosts brilliantly executed a corner, with Bronze nodding the ball back across goal for Baltimore to head in.However, the lead lasted just five minutes, with Everton drawing level after Yuka Momiki's cross ricocheted past Hannah Hampton via Bronze's heel.Bronze went closest to putting Chelsea back in front when she headed against the crossbar soon after, but the hosts had to settle for a share of the spoils.Chelsea's slip-up opened the door for Manchester City to leapfrog them to the WSL summit, thanks to a 5-0 rout of West Ham.Khadija Shaw scored a hat-trick for Andree Jeglertz's side, while Aoba Fujino and Iman Beney opened their accounts for the season to move them two points clear at the top.Chelsea fail to punish EvertonThe Blues' failure to take all three points was all the more baffling, considering Everton failed to register a single shot on target.Chelsea had won 16 of their 18 previous WSL meetings with the Toffees, so all appeared to be going to plan when Baltimore put them ahead.However, they were quickly pegged back with Bronze not making the desired impact on her 150th WSL appearance.Despite 20 attempts and an xG of 2.14, Chelsea could not edge their noses back in front, and were denied an eighth straight win.As for Everton, having gone 22 WSL games without drawing, they've now recorded two in a row for the first time in over two years, despite registering their lowest shot tally this season (three).City took full advantage of Chelsea's failure to win, with Shaw marking her 150th appearance for the club by continuing her record of having scored in every league game this season.Lucy Bronze was the unlikely villain for Chelsea, whose seven-match winning streak in the Women's Super League came to an end.Chelsea lost their grip on top spot in the Women's Super League after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton.Lucy Bronze's own goal cancelled out Sandy Baltimore's earlier strike at Stamford Bridge, where the Blues saw their seven-match winning streak brought to an end.Sonia Bompastor's side made a bright start and made their pressure tell in the 28th minute.The hosts brilliantly executed a corner, with Bronze nodding the ball back across goal for Baltimore to head in.However, the lead lasted just five minutes, with Everton drawing level after Yuka Momiki's cross ricocheted past Hannah Hampton via Bronze's heel.Bronze went closest to putting Chelsea back in front when she headed against the crossbar soon after, but the hosts had to settle for a share of the spoils.Chelsea's slip-up opened the door for Manchester City to leapfrog them to the WSL summit, thanks to a 5-0 rout of West Ham.Khadija Shaw scored a hat-trick for Andree Jeglertz's side, while Aoba Fujino and Iman Beney opened their accounts for the season to move them two points clear at the top.Chelsea fail to punish EvertonThe Blues' failure to take all three points was all the more baffling, considering Everton failed to register a single shot on target.Chelsea had won 16 of their 18 previous WSL meetings with the Toffees, so all appeared to be going to plan when Baltimore put them ahead.However, they were quickly pegged back with Bronze not making the desired impact on her 150th WSL appearance.Despite 20 attempts and an xG of 2.14, Chelsea could not edge their noses back in front, and were denied an eighth straight win.As for Everton, having gone 22 WSL games without drawing, they've now recorded two in a row for the first time in over two years, despite registering their lowest shot tally this season (three).City took full advantage of Chelsea's failure to win, with Shaw marking her 150th appearance for the club by continuing her record of having scored in every league game this season.
