Charlton Athletic win WSL promotion

Charlton Athletic have earned their first-ever promotion to the Women's Super League after a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Leicester City.

Goalkeeper Sophie Whitehouse was the hero of the match, saving four penalties to send the Addicks into the top flight and relegate the Foxes.

The victory marks the completion of a five-year strategic plan for the London club, which becomes the seventh team from the capital in the expanded 14-team WSL. For Leicester City, the result ends a five-year stay in the top flight and raises questions about the club's future direction.
