London City Lionesses beat Birmingham City 4-1 in the WSL, cutting second-placed Chelsea's lead to just four points.
London City Lionesses sent a loud message in the WSL title picture, beating Birmingham City 4-1 to move within four points of second-placed Chelsea.
A three-goal winning margin is the kind of result that gets noticed in a tight table. Birmingham managed a goal of their own, but London City were far too strong over the course of the match and took all three points.
The win matters most for what it does to the standings. With the gap to Chelsea down to four points, the race for the runner-up spot looks a lot more open. Chelsea now have a rival close behind them rather than one fading from view.
For Birmingham, it's a frustrating result in a league where every slip costs ground. For London City, the task now is to keep this momentum going and keep the pressure on the teams above them.
