There isn’t a moment in recent times where Chelsea Women most needed a boost like today’s. Facing Tottenham at their big stage is momentous on its own. And to have that game after back to back losses to Arsenal and Manchester City in the Women’s Super League, stakes are even higher.
Nothing else but meeting the occasion. That’s the recipe for our success this afternoon in London.
