Hamano and Buchanan power Chelsea past Aston Villa to go top of WSL
Chelsea shrugged off the disappointment of their FA Cup semi-final exit to climb back above Manchester City at the top of the Women’s Super League with a 3-0 defeat of Aston Villa.
An opening goal from Aggie Beever-Jones and first Chelsea goals for Maika Hamano and Kadeisha Buchanan ensured victory over 10-player Villa, after goalkeeper Anna Leat was sent off five minutes in for handling the ball outside her area.
