Chelsea Edges Tottenham To Claim Pole Position In Women's Super League

Chelsea ascended to the top of the Women's Super League table following a narrow 1-0 victory over Tottenham on Wednesday. Maika Hamano netted the decisive goal in the 37th minute, converting Guro Reiten's precise cross from close range.
