Ruthless Victory Secures Champions League Spot
Aston Villa 0-3 Chelsea Women
In a dominant display, Chelsea Women secured a resounding 3-0 victory over Aston Villa Women at Villa Park, solidifying their position in the Women's Super League. The win propelled the defending champions into second place, closing the gap on leaders Arsenal.
Chelsea's relentless attack proved too much for Aston Villa, with Niamh Charles opening the scoring in the 12th minute. The Blues extended their lead in the 28th minute, as Lauren James latched onto a through ball and slotted it home. Sophie Ingle sealed the victory in the 91st minute, ensuring a comfortable win for the visitors.

Aston Villa, despite the defeat, showed promise with their resilient defense and occasional attacking threat. However, they remain in the bottom half of the table and will need to improve their results if they want to avoid relegation.
