The Women's Super League has seen a string of controversy and surprise results in recent weeks, with the latest being the goalless draw between Arsenal and Manchester United. The match was marred by Dominique Janssen's admission that her team had orchestrated Tullis-Joyce going down to spark a tactical talk among coaches.
Janssen's comments sparked debate over whether or not the move was legitimate, with some arguing that it was simply time-wasting. Meanwhile, Manchester City continued their dominance in the league with a 2-0 victory over Everton, with Kerolin catching the eye with his pace and skill on the pitch.
In other news, Tottenham Hotspur Women edged Leicester 1-0 thanks to Ashleigh Neville's own goal, while Aston Villa Women pulled off a stunning comeback against Brighton to win 2-1. For London City Lionesses, it was an early test under new coach Eder Maestre, who urged his team to develop a winning mentality.
But perhaps the most surprising result of the weekend was West Ham Women's 5-0 loss to Chelsea, which saw Rita Guarino's debut cut short by an earring-related delay. Guarino had been prepared to come on but was prevented from doing so due to officials upholding the letter of the law.

. on the other hand, i love how Manchester City are killing it this season - Kerolin's pace and skill are insane 
! but what really caught my eye is Rita Guarino getting sent off due to a ridiculous reason like an earring 
. can't believe that stopped her from making a debut for West Ham...
That earring thing might seem minor, but when you're trying to come on as a sub, every second counts, you know? Maybe next time she'll be ready for the big leagues! 
this women's super league is getting CRAZY!!! like what kinda stuff do these players think they can get away with? Dominique Janssen literally admitted to messing with Tullis-Joyce just to spark a conversation between coaches... talk about desperate tactics lol. and meanwhile, kerolin was on FIRE for manchester city 
ashleigh nevile's own goal was also pretty wild, but i guess thats soccer for u 
. new coach eder maestre needs to get london city lionesses back on track ASAP 
. I mean, I get what they're saying about teams trying to gain an advantage, but intentionally going down a player? It just seems like a bit too much drama for me 
. And can we talk about how ridiculous it is when earring-related delays happen on the pitch 
?! Rita Guarino's debut was already promising and then that happens 
. On a more positive note, those Aston Villa Women players showed some serious grit with their comeback against Brighton 
. It just goes to show that even in women's sports, anything can happen! 
! Rita Guarino's debut gets cut short because she lost an earring and the officials are all like "we can't let her come on with that". Like, who cares about the letter of the law in a sports game? 
It's not like it's going to affect the match. And now I'm just curious if Guarino will even get to play again... this rule is so strict! 
It's just ridiculous. The game moves so slow when these delays happen... 
i mean dominique janssen's comment about making tullis-joyce go down is super sketchy idk if thats allowed or not... and man city just keeps winning lol 
kerolin sounds like a cool player btw, i need to watch some vids of him on the pitch. and congrats to london city lionesses new coach eder maestre, hope he can turn things around for them 
I cant believe what happen in that West Ham v Chelsea match! 5-0 is insane! Rita Guarino's debut and it get cut short by a earring?! What even is that? 
. And can we talk about the whole earring thing for a sec? Like, I get it, safety first and all that, but can't they just make an exception for a debutant 
Meanwhile, West Ham Women just got absolutely destroyed by Chelsea, Rita Guarino's debut didn't exactly go as planned 
.
and honestly who needs that kind of drama in a match anyway? 
just play the game and focus on scoring goals, not getting distracted by tiny things #WomenInFootball #SportingDrama #GetItTogether
. On a more serious note, Rita Guarino looks like she's got some skills, hope she bounces back from this debut disappointment
