Despite missing key players including Mayra Ramirez, Nathalie Bjorn, Maren Mjelde, Sam Kerr, Millie Bright, and Ann-Katrin Berger due to injuries, and with Lauren James and Fran Kirby's participation uncertain, Chelsea, under the guidance of Emma Hayes, showcased their depth and resilience. Lauren James, overcoming doubts around her fitness, opened the scoring, setting the tone for the match. Sjoeke Nusken further cemented Chelsea's lead with a double, contributing to a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime. This victory places Chelsea three points ahead of Manchester City and six points clear of Arsenal, significantly enhancing their championship aspirations. The match, described as a potential title decider, attracted a crowd of 32,000, including a fully packed 6,000 away end, highlighting the growing interest and support for women's football.
