Teen striker's debut goal fires Chelsea to second place
19 Mar
Summary
- Lexi Potter scored the winning goal on her first senior start.
- Chelsea moved to second in the Women's Super League table.
- Manchester United drew 0-0 with West Ham in their recent match.
Chelsea has claimed the second position in the Women's Super League standings after a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Brighton. The decisive goal came from 19-year-old academy graduate Lexi Potter, who was making her first senior start. Potter found the back of the net in the 39th minute, following earlier goals from Alyssa Thompson and Carla Camacho for Chelsea.
This win means Chelsea overtakes Manchester United, who could only manage a 0-0 draw against West Ham United. Despite creating several chances, United were unable to break down the West Ham defense, with their substitute Melvine Malard missing key opportunities. Chelsea's victory continues their strong form after lifting the League Cup trophy last Sunday.
