Chelsea continued their perfect start under Sonia Bompastor with a commanding 5-0 win over Everton. The Blues were in complete control, with first-half goals from Aggie Beever-Jones, Erin Cuthbert, and Guro Reiten. The 19-year-old Netherlands midfielder Wieke Kaptein and Canada defender Ashley Lawrence added late finishes to secure the victory. This win marks Chelsea's seventh consecutive victory in all competitions, while Everton, hampered by injuries, remain winless and at the bottom of the table.
Manchester City maintained their position at the top of the table with a convincing 3-0 win against newly promoted Crystal Palace. Jess Park's stunning long-range strike set the tone, with Jill Roord and Khadija Shaw adding further goals in the second half. Brighton's Nikita Parris scored her third goal in four games to secure a 1-0 win over Leicester, lifting her team into the Women's Champions League qualification spots.
Aston Villa, under new manager Robert de Pauw, remain winless after six league games, succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at home to Liverpool. Taylor Hinds scored twice for Liverpool, with Gabi Nunes pulling one back for Villa. West Ham are also yet to win this season, with a bizarre 92nd-minute own goal from Camila Sáez sealing a 2-1 defeat at Tottenham.
