MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Chelsea's six-year hold on the Women's Super League title in English soccer is slipping.
A 5-1 loss at first-place Manchester City on Sunday left Chelsea in third place and 12 points off the leaders with eight rounds remaining.
Chelsea has won every women's top-flight title since the 2019-20 season.
City, for whom Brazil forward Kerolin scored a hat trick, extended its lead to 11 points over Manchester United in its bid for a first league title since 2016.
