Chelsea 1-0 Aston Villa: Rytting Kaneryd stunner hands champions narrow victory in WSL opener
Joanna Rytting Kaneryd’s goal ensured Chelsea began life under new manager Sonia Bompastor with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa. The Swede’s 36th-minute curled left-footed stunner was enough for the Women’s Super League champions to overcome a stern challenge from Villa, who were also managed by Robert de Pauw for the first time.
