Chelsea Women defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, February 8, ending a difficult period. Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson scored the goals for the Blues.
The win followed consecutive WSL defeats for Chelsea against Arsenal and Manchester City, including a 5-1 loss to City. This marked the first time in manager Sonia Bompastor's career her team had lost back-to-back league games. The results left Chelsea 12 points behind league leaders Manchester City, impacting their title challenge.
Bompastor stated she was proud of her team for fighting back from disappointment. She acknowledged the high pressure at Chelsea, but maintained confidence in her squad. The club recently extended Bompastor's contract until 2030, demonstrating continued faith in her leadership. Chelsea now sit third in the Women's Super League table.
