Manchester City took another significant step towards claiming their first Women's Super League title since 2016 with a resounding 5-1 victory over Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. The dominant performance was spearheaded by Brazilian star Kerolin, who scored a hat-trick and showcased her incredible speed and skill to leave Chelsea reeling.
The visiting team had been on a six-year unbeaten run under Sonia Bompastor, but their title hopes were ruthlessly extinguished as Manchester City's superior firepower proved too much for them. The Citizens' 12-point advantage over second-placed Manchester United now looks almost insurmountable, with only eight games remaining in the season.
Jeglertz, her team's head coach, was visibly proud of his players' performance, admitting that he was lost for words after the match. "A lot of people were expecting us to perform and they managed it," she said. "It's amazing." Manchester City are now well on their way to claiming their first title since 2016, with their sights firmly set on glory.
The defeat left Chelsea reeling, as they succumbed to a third consecutive loss in the league. The Blues have now lost back-to-back WSL games for the first time since July 2015 and are facing an uphill battle to reclaim their top spot. Despite Bompastor's confidence in keeping her job, questions will surely be raised about the Frenchwoman's tenure at the club.
Chelsea's collapse was summed up by a series of defensive errors that allowed Manchester City to run riot. The visitors' poor defending continued as they struggled to contain Kerolin, who proved unstoppable with her skill and speed. Despite a late goal from Alyssa Thompson, the damage had already been done, and Chelsea were left to ponder how their title hopes slipped through their fingers.
The defeat has left Chelsea facing a tough road ahead, with two crucial away games at Tottenham and Old Trafford looming large. Their Champions League places are now hanging by a thread, and it remains to be seen if Bompastor's team can mount an impressive comeback in the remaining fixtures.

... Chelsea was getting killed out there, but they just couldnt seem to stop Manchester City from scoring 
. I mean, Kerolin is like a gazelle or something - she's so fast and agile! 
She basically ran rings around Chelsea's defense. It's kinda sad for them because it looked like they were on fire at one point, but then just fell apart 
. Now its anyone's game with 8 games left to go 
.
Manchester City is on FIRE 
! They're totally crushing it in the WSL right now and I don't see anyone stopping them 
Kerolin is a total superstar 
, her speed and skill are insane 
️! Jeglertz's team is on point, they're executing their game plan to perfection 
. Chelsea is struggling big time 
, they need to step up their game if they want to catch up with Manchester City 
. The Citizens' 12-point lead is looking pretty solid at this point, I think it's gonna be tough for them to lose 
.
only 8 games left in the season and it's looking super bleak for Chelsea 
. The French team needs to get their act together ASAP or they'll be watching from home 
. And I'm loving Jeglertz's reactions after the match, she's so proud of her team 
. I mean, those Chelsea girls were like, "Uh, what's going on?" 
. Chelsea's woes have got me thinking, maybe they should just adopt Kerolin as their own star player and call it a day 
Manchester City is just dominating everything right now 
And now with 12 points ahead of Manchester United, it's looking really tough for them to catch up. Maybe Chelsea will make some changes or something? 
! Will Bompastor's team be able to mount a comeback, or are they done for? Only time will tell 
.
The question is, though, will Chelsea be able to mount an impressive comeback in the remaining games? They're going to have to tighten up their defense and stop letting teams like Manchester City run riot 
manchester city is killin' the game right now 
it's looking super unlikely that anyone can catch up to them now 
I mean, a 5-1 win over Chelsea is insane! Kerolin is a total boss 
. And now, with only 8 games left, it's almost guaranteed they'll win the title 
and I'm loving every minute of it 
she's literally unstoppable with that ball at her feet! 
and i gotta say, it's gonna be tough for chelsea to come back from this one 
. That gap is huge, and it's going to be tough for anyone to close the gap in just eight games left on the schedule 
. Of course, you never know what can happen in sports, but I'd say City is definitely the team to beat right now 
. They've got a good squad, but if they're not careful, their season could be over before it even starts 
i mean like what did they even do against her 
eglertz is the real MVP coach of the year 2025 hands down 
that hits you when everyone comes together on the same page 
. Manchester City's 5-1 victory over Chelsea was no coincidence, it was a beautifully executed symphony 
! And what did she say after the match? "A lot of people were expecting us to perform and they managed it" 
. I mean, isn't that just the most honest thing ever? It's all about embracing your strengths and playing to the team's collective talent 
️, but then you gotta keep working hard to stay on top 
. Chelsea thought they had it in the bag, but Manchester City showed them that complacency can be a killer 
. What's your takeaway from this match?
Chelsea's defense is like toast, anyone can see that. They need to get their act together ASAP or else... 
. can't we just have a more interactive experience or something? like, I want to watch Kerolin's goal again without it freezing every 2 seconds 
...
they r almost guaranteed 2 win thir 1st title since 2016!!! 
. And let's be real, the rivalry between Chelsea and Manchester City is about to get so much more interesting 
.
