Charlton Lose Their Tenth Straight Opener in WSL History

Charlton Athletic have lost their first ten matches of a Women's Super League season, the first team in the competition's history to start a campaign that way. Their latest defeat came at the hands of West Ham United, who won 2-0.

Viviane Asseyi scored both of West Ham's goals. BBC Sport reported the result and the record.

The Women's Super League is the top tier of women's football in England. Clubs play each other over a long season, and every point matters for staying up or climbing the table. Starting with ten defeats leaves Charlton with a steep climb, and every new game is another chance to end the run.

For a club, a losing streak like this is hard to shake. Players and staff have to keep the squad believing that results can turn, even when the scoreboard keeps saying otherwise. The next question for Charlton is simple: when does the first win come?

West Ham, meanwhile, go on with a comfortable afternoon's work behind them and a striker who has now found the net twice in one game.
