Own goal and inspired debut from keeper Akane Okuma earn Villa point at Chelsea

The Guardian Football about 1 hour 1 mins read

A Veerle Buurman own goal punished a profligate Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, securing a point for Aston Villa in a frustrating start to the hosts’ push to win back the WSL title.
