Women’s Super League: talking points from the weekend’s action

Shouts for Renée Slegers gain volume, Chelsea’s winning run ends and Shaun Goater gets off to a fine start

After 10 games without defeat in her interim role, the chorus of voices calling for Arsenal to extend Renée Slegers’s tenure gets louder by the week. Before taking to the opposite dugout on Sunday, Matt Beard, the Liverpool head coach, lauded her for doing “a fantastic job” and said it would be “great for the game” were she to stay on permanently; afterwards, Alessia Russo, the match-winner, credited Slegers with instilling fresh motivation in the team. Arsenal were far from perfect against Liverpool but, in grinding out a 1-0 win on Merseyside, showed a resilience that was lacking under Jonas Eidevall at the start of the season. They have cohesion, focus and a sense of direction, marks of a team making real progress. Will Magee
