London City Lionesses host Brighton & Hove Albion at the Copperjax Community Stadium for a tight contest in the Barclays Women’s Super League.

In front of 4,177 fans, the hosts showcased technical and progressive football to continue their statement season in the topflight. With Alexia Putellas on the scoresheet to open her WSL account, and Lucía Corrales tapping one in moments before the final whistle, the Spanish internationals made the difference in Bromley.

Ipswich Women welcomed Wolves Women to the Jobserve Community Stadium on Sunday, with both sides looking to build on positive starts to the WSL 2 season. Ipswich were unbeaten in their three opening matches, while Wolves had won two of their first three matches after beating Sheffield United and Burnley. With both teams in good early season form, it was set to be a competitive afternoon. 

Watford search for a first win this season continued as the Golden Girls fell to a 2-1 home defeat against Sunderland AFC  at Vicarage Road in the Barclays WSL2. 

Sanni Franssi opened the scoring for the visitors early in the first half, with Elise Hughes adding a second shortly before the break. 

Vera Jones later pulled one back for the Hornets in the second half on her first start for the club, as the team then pushed for an equaliser. However, despite their efforts, the visitors held on, taking all three league points on the road.

Heading into Matchday four of the Barclays Women’s Super League, title-holders Manchester City and league newcomers Charlton Athletic sit at opposite ends of the results table.

City netted three against Birmingham City on their season debut, followed by 4 against both Liverpool and Aston Villa, shooting them to the top in both points and goal difference. Charlton Athletic, on the other hand, struggle in the relegation zone with no points, having conceded heavily to both Everton and London City Lionesses in recent weeks.

After a winless opening two WSL matches for both Brighton and Hove Albion and Aston Villa, both teams came to the AMEX on Sunday with a determination to climb up from the bottom half of the table. Last season in the WSL, Brighton and Villa encountered each other on opening weekend, ending in a 0-0 draw, and Aston Villa then clinched a 2-1 win with a second-half comeback when they faced again in January. 

The two sides headed into the game on a near even keel, with one point each on the table. After a first half goal by Gabby George, and a last-minute wondergoal straight from a corner by Lynn Wilms, the teams ended their meeting at a stalemate, despite a vast gap in attacking attempts. Although Brighton had 25 shots compared to Villa’s two, the points were shared evenly between the teams as the Seagulls struggled to convert their attacking momentum into something more clinical.

An Olivia Holdt hat trick and Victoria Pelova brace helped the visitors to an emphatic 7-0 win against a defiant but ultimately outrun 10-man Crystal Palace. 

A 7th minute red card for Palace midfielder Fuka Tsunoda put a pause on the Eagle’s early promise, reverting to a defensive display so successful last week in their draw against Arsenal, keeping it level before half time. Tired legs and a changed game plan from Spurs completely altered proceedings after the break. Tottenham came out firing, not wasting any time before running rings around the Eagles, Holdt slotting it home for her first four minutes after the whistle and the floodgates opened from there. 

In their new home of Stamford Bridge, Chelsea host Birmingham City in their third WSL fixture this season. Full of confidence after a 5-0 victory in Manchester last weekend, the Blues look hungry for more.

Amy Merricks’ Blues head to London ambitious to take something from the hosts, challenging for every ball and putting bodies on the line. Following an impressive draw on Sunday, the squad prepare to put themselves on the WSL radar once again.

Tottenham Hotspur’s free flowing play and exciting new recruits made the difference in their dominant opening day 3-1 win against a disjointed West Ham United. Bright sparks Kirsty Hanson, Sigue Gaupset and Caitlin Dijkstra impressed whilst the new look Hammer’s struggled to connect across the 90 minutes and put meaningful pressure on the hosts. The BetWright Stadium was in full voice on a sunny day in Leyton, 1,675 fans ready for a big 2026/2027 season ahead. 

The Copperjax Stadium was buzzing with excitement during London City Lionesses’ friendly against Atletico Madrid, and it wasn’t just Alexia Putellas’ Bromley debut that was causing a stir.

Following on from a summer of almost unbelievable signings, London City have had something crucial to prove in their pre-season fixtures, that these new players will make an impact on the pitch as well as off it. After wins against Sevilla and Benfica, and a draw with Sporting CP, expectations were high going into the match, with Liga F team, and competitors in last season’s Champions League, Atlético Madrid expected to be their toughest competition yet. As their only home match before the 26-27 season, it was the perfect opportunity to prove themselves against the tough Spanish team.
