Vivianne Miedema of Manchester City has called for goal-line technology to be introduced into the Women's Super League following a number of controversies in this weekend's matches. The Dutch forward scored the first goal in City's 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, but was denied a second by a goal-line clearance. Her second-half header was cleared by keeper Ash Neville but appeared to cross the line, though the lack of goal-line technology at the stadium meant it was not awarded.

Women's Super League action has been paused this weekend as players prepare for the first international break of the 2024/25 season. With some of our favourite players embarking on a series of friendlies throughout the world, we've had the chance to reflect on how the season has progressed thus far. Manchester City now leads the table, with no club able to break their winning streak, followed by Chelsea and Manchester United. However, it's worth noting that the Citizens enjoy a distinct advantage. They've had the luxury of playing one extra game than Chelsea and United, who had their match postponed due to a scheduling problem with the UEFA Women's Champions League and have yet to be rescheduled. However, one thing is clear: this season has seen a significant boost in overall standard. In the first few weeks, certain clubs took advantage of this, while others struggled to keep up. Seagulls gleam under Dario Vidosic. Dario Vidosic secured his move to England's ...
