In a pivotal Women's Super League (WSL) match at Prenton Park, Liverpool emerged victorious over Chelsea with a dramatic 4-3 win. Gemma Bonner played a crucial role, scoring two headers including a decisive goal in the 92nd minute. This result significantly dents Chelsea's title aspirations, as they had been contenders for the WSL title. The match was marked by multiple lead changes: Chelsea initially led 1-0 at 9 minutes, Liverpool equalized at 51 minutes, took a 2-1 lead at 66 minutes, Chelsea equalized at 80 minutes, Liverpool again led 3-2 at 81 minutes, and Chelsea equalized at 83 minutes before Liverpool's final goal. Prior to this, Chelsea's hopes for a quadruple were already diminished after a recent defeat in the UWCL, and this loss further complicates their campaign under manager Emma Hayes, who is in her final season with the club.

The second half of that game was CHAOS! Emma Hayes said before the match Chelsea's title chances were 'small', Liverpool have just made those chances smaller in an extraordinary match! #BBCFootball https://t.co/RzYdHwiick
Not so long ago, Chelsea women had dreams of a quadruple..now looking likely Emma Hayes will end her time at the club with no trophies from her last season in charge. Man City strong favourites to win WSL now. https://t.co/Fpln6GqMkV
