Veerle Buurman’s own goal earns Aston Villa WSL draw at wasteful Chelsea

Aston Villa secured a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the Women's Super League, courtesy of an own goal by Veerle Buurman. The result delivered a frustrating start to Chelsea's WSL title campaign.

Despite dominating the match with 64% possession and recording 32 shots compared to Villa's seven, Chelsea proved wasteful in front of goal. Aston Villa managed only five touches in the opposition box throughout the fixture but capitalized on Buurman's defensive error to claim an away point.
