Guro Reiten's penalty, won by the impressive Mayra Ramirez, saw Women's Super League champions Chelsea beat Manchester United, with the Blues still yet to drop points under Sonia Bompastor
Another victory on Sunday saw the reigning WSL champions solidify top spot, with them still to drop points this season
When Chelsea last met Manchester United in the Women's Super League, the Blues were scarily dominant, with Mayra Ramirez running the show in a 6-0 thumping at Old Trafford which sealed a fifth-successive title . Six months on, their meeting at a blustery Kingsmeadow on Sunday might not have been quite as devastating, but Ramirez's quality once again made an important difference in a 1-0 win which continues Sonia Bompastor's perfect start to life in London.
The new Chelsea head coach has now won all of her first 12 games in charge, with the only goal of this affair coming inside 17 minutes. It was a lovely bit of combination play between Ramirez and Maika Hamano which sent the former in behind a United defence that had conceded just twice in seven WSL games, and it was there that Phallon Tullis-Joyce,, made a rare mistake in bringing down Chelsea's centre-forward.
From there, the impetus was on the Red Devils to take the game to the reigning champions, but they could only do so in short flurries. Instead, it was Chelsea who often looked the more likely to add to the scoreline, with Erin Cuthbert, Nathalie Bjorn and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd among those to come close.
