Crystal Palace opened the returning Women’s Super League campaign with a victory over Everton, but the result was overshadowed by a breach of the rules.
The incident was discussed on The Guardian Football’s Women’s Football Weekly podcast, where Faye Carruthers, Suzanne Wrack, Tom Garry and Ayisha Gulati reviewed the opening weekend of action in WSL 1 and WSL 2.
Palace’s win was one of the key talking points from the first round of fixtures, although the supplied report does not specify the nature of the breach or any consequences arising from it.
The podcast also assessed the wider opening weekend, including Manchester City starting the campaign strongly and Chelsea being the only club from last season’s top three to drop points. For Palace, however, the focus remains on a winning start that was accompanied by an issue away from the result itself.
