Arsenal Women End Chelsea's Home Domination With A 2-0 Win: Key Moments And Title Implications.

Few results in women’s football resonate beyond the ninety minutes like Arsenal’s emphatic 2–0 victory over Chelsea on their own turf. This was not just a win; it was a statement. Chelsea, long considered the dominant force in the Women’s Super League and nearly untouchable at home, were outplayed, outthought, and outmaneuvered by an Arsenal side that arrived with clarity of purpose and left with the league title race wide open. For years, Chelsea’s home ground has been a fortress—an arena where confidence swells, pressure suffocates opponents, and trophies feel inevitable. Arsenal walked into that environment and dismantled the myth. The significance of this result extends far beyond three points, reshaping perceptions of power, belief, and momentum in the women’s game. This match will be remembered not only for the scoreline but for how comprehensively Arsenal executed their game plan, how decisively they seized key moments, and how profoundly the outcome alters the WSL title landsca...

Wolves have agreed to a €25 million transfer agreement.

Wolves are closing in on the acquisition of Andre from Fluminense, with the midfielder scheduled to have a medical at Molineux.

Gary O'Neil's team has agreed to sign the Brazil international for €25 million (£21 million) plus add-ons, with Andre due to go to England to complete his move to the Premier League.

The purchase is a record for Fluminense and will be viewed as a coup for Wolves, given interest in the 23-year-old from some of Europe's elite clubs. Manchester United and Liverpool have kept an eye on him, and Fulham has been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder in recent months.

Personal terms have been agreed, and Andre will become Wolves' sixth signing of the summer window. His presence will be a welcome boost for O'Neil, given his team's openness in their 6-2 defeat to Chelsea last weekend.

Following the sales of Max Kilman (£40 million) to West Ham United and Pedro Neto (£54 million) to Chelsea, O'Neil indicated that Wolves would not conduct any additional activity.

Andre, on the other hand, appears to be on his way to Molineux before Friday's Premier League transfer deadline, where he will join colleagues Matheus Cunha and Joao Gomes from Brazil.

Who did Wolves sign Andre?

Andre is a defensive midfielder who rose through the ranks at Fluminense to become one of South America's hottest properties.

In 2021, he was voted the Best Newcomer in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and in 2022, he made the Team of the Season. Last year, he played an important role in the club's first Copa Libertadores win.

He has five senior caps for Brazil after making his debut with the Selecao in 2023.

Who did Wolves sign in 2024/25?

Tommy Doyle, Manchester City (Undisclosed)

Rodrigo Gomes - Braga (£12.7 million).

Pedro Lima - Sport Recife (£8.5 million).

Arthur Nasta, Larkhall Athletic (Undisclosed)

Jorgen Strand Larsen, Celta Vigo (Loan - €30 million obligatory purchase clause.)

The world of women's football has become accustomed to seismic transfers, but few carry the weight of experience, pedigree, and sheer statement of intent as the recent announcement from London City Lionesses. Daniëlle van de Donk, the tenacious and technically brilliant Dutch international, has joined the newly-promoted WSL club on a free transfer from European giants Lyon. This isn't merely a signing; it's a declaration of ambition, a strategic masterstroke, and a move that could fundamentally alter the trajectory of a club poised for its biggest challenge yet.
