Goals either side of half-time from Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson gave Chelsea a 2-0 victory in the Women's Super League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Going into the game only a point behind the Blues, and with the visitors having lost back-to-back matches, we sensed an opportunity and were the better side for much of the first half, Olivia Holdt once again proving a real threat and going close with a stunning individual effort that struck the crossbar after only 11 minutes.
Bethany England later fired a good chance over the bar, but when Walsh struck in the wake of a half-cleared corner against the run of play six minutes before the break, the tide of momentum changed and a second goal for the Blues from Thompson four minutes after the restart left us with an uphill battle. Holdt squandered a golden chance to pull one back when she fired straight at goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, but in truth the visitors controlled the second half and saw out the game to ensure our wait for a WSL win against them goes on.
