Leicester City lost crucial ground in the Barclays Women’s Super League after a mammoth defeat to Chelsea and wins for their relegation rivals.
The Foxes were promoted to the top flight for the first time in 2021 but are without a win in eight games after an 8-0 defeat to leaders Chelsea. Reading and Liverpool picked up key points against higher-ranked opponents to inch them closer to safety while Manchester United and Arsenal both won to keep the title race alive.
Leicester could not deal with Guro Reiten as she put on a masterclass at the King Power Stadium scoring one and assisting four. The Norwegian international opened the scoring after just four minutes before setting up Jessie Fleming, Fran Kirby, Niamh Charles, and Sam Kerr, the former two going on to notch braces.
