Your support makes all the difference.Chelsea host Tottenham in the Women’s Super League on Thursday and it will be another vital clash in terms of the title race.
The Blues and Spurs played one another last Sunday with Emma Hayes’ side pulling off an incredible comeback. Tottenham went 1-0 up in the early stages but Chelsea equalised shortly before their goalkeeper, Ann-Katrin Berger, got sent off. Amazingly, Chelsea went on to win the match 3-1 to keep their title hopes alive.
They remain one point ahead of Arsenal in the table and any slip ups from either side could gift the title to their rivals. The match on Sunday highlighted how ruthless the Blues are set to be in the closing stages and Erin Cuthbert said it was one of the best wins of her career.
She said: “Everyone was fighting for each other and everyone accepted that the task isn’t always pretty football, isn’t the football that we want to play but we did what we needed to do to get the job done. I don’t know if you’ll see a video of me falling to my knees at full-time because it was just overwhelming relief and emotion from the game.”
