Chelsea became record-breakers at Aston Villa on Wednesday night when they extended their unbeaten run in the Women’s Super League to 32 games. Two years to the day from their last WSL defeat, Emma Hayes’s “Invincibles” returned to the top of the table by cantering to the most comprehensive of 4-0 wins at Aston Villa.
“When you consider the quality we have to face it’s an unbelievable record,” said Hayes, whose defending champions are now in front of second‑placed Manchester United on goal difference with a game in hand. “It gets harder and harder and harder playing with a target on your back. I don’t think we’ll recognise just how good this team is until much later on.”
