Manchester City Women, Chelsea Women, Khadija Shaw and Everton Women
7 November 2026
Manchester City moved two points clear at the top of the Women’s Super League after thrashing West Ham 5-0 while Chelsea were held to a 1-1 home draw by Everton.
Khadija Shaw scored a hat-trick against West Ham, taking her league tally to 12 goals in nine appearances. City also received goals from Aoba Fujino and Iman Beney. Chelsea dominated Everton but were frustrated by their finishing and a Lucy Bronze own goal. The results put City ahead of Chelsea before the two title contenders meet next weekend.
