A thrilling 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Saturday saw us close the gap to just one point. Beth Mead's early second-half goal and a subsequent assist for Mariona Caldentey ignited wild celebrations among our fans. The first half was a tense affair, with both teams creating opportunities. Katie McCabe and Alessia Russo had early chances, but it was Chelsea who had the best sight of goal, with Erin Cuthbert's strike deflected wide. The game remained goalless at halftime, with both teams creating chances but failing to convert. The second half was a different story. Mead's goal and a subsequent assist for Caldentey secured the win and sparked wild celebrations. Mead's 50th assist in the WSL showcased her exceptional playmaking skills. The game ended with a 2-0 victory, securing our first away win against Chelsea in the WSL since 2018. We now have the opportunity to reach the final of the FIFA Women's Champions Cup, facing AS FAR in the semi-finals at Brentford Stadium on Wednesday.
