No Hope at Brighton but 13 is lucky for Arsenal – Women’s Football Weekly | Football


It’s never dull in the Women’s Super League …

There’s no more Hope for Brighton as Powell steps down following an 8-0 thrashing at home by Tottenham.

Reading come out on top against Leicester in the battle at the bottom, Arsenal bag a record 13th straight league win, and we ask: is everyone taking the Rainbow Laces campaign seriously?

Plus: how Chelsea’s 3-1 win over Aston Villa was overshadowed by Hannah Hampton’s “absence”.

All that and a look at the rest of the weekend’s action and talking points – as well as taking your questions.

We’ll be back next week to tackle the next round of games ahead of November’s international break.
