LIVERPOOL :Winless Liverpool dented Chelsea's title hopes with a gritty 1-1 draw in the Women's Super League on Sunday, as Beata Olsson's strike cancelled out Alyssa Thompson's opener and earned Gareth Taylor's side a precious point.

Chelsea, who are chasing a sixth consecutive league title, are second in the table and trail leaders Manchester City by three points after nine games, while bottom-placed Liverpool have just two points.

Thompson put Chelsea on the scoresheet in the ninth minute when she latched onto a cross from Wieke Kaptein before cutting inside and curling home past Faye Kirby.

Olsson levelled in the 32nd minute with her third goal in three games when she ran onto Lily Woodham's through ball and then pulled away from Millie Bright before calmly slotting past Livia Peng.
