WSL Matchweek Four: Manchester Edge West Ham as Birmingham and Palace Share Six
Birmingham City Women and Crystal Palace Women split six goals on Sunday, while Manchester beat West Ham 2-1 to headline matchweek four of the Women's Super League.
Both games were played on 27 September 2026. The final scores are listed as MAN 2-1 WHU and BIR 3-3 CRY on ESPN's Women's Super League schedule.
The Women's Super League, the top tier of women's club football in England, is now four rounds into the 2026-27 season. Its sister competition, WSL2, is the second tier below it.
Manchester's win over West Ham came at Leigh Sports Village in Manchester. ESPN lists the venue and gives the attendance as 2,959. That is a solid crowd for a league Sunday. Two goals were enough to settle it.
At St Andrew's Stadium, Birmingham and Crystal Palace could not be separated. The game finished 3-3, according to ESPN. Six goals in one afternoon. No extra gloss needed.
The weekend card also included Chelsea Women against Arsenal Women. That fixture appears on The Guardian's Women's Super League results page for 27 September 2026, alongside Birmingham City Women against Crystal Palace Women.
If you missed any of it, there is a quick way to catch up. BBC Sport published a video titled 'All the goals from the Women's Super League - matchweek four' on 28 September 2026, showing every goal from the round, according to BBC Sport. The video is marked as available to UK users only.
The league's official home, WSL Football, also offers a look back on all of the action across Matchweek 4 in the Barclays WSL and WSL2, via WSL Football. The same site carries live scores, fixtures, results, tables, news and stats.
For fans, this means no long wait for the next story. Attention turns quickly to cup football, the knockout competitions that run alongside the league season.
