It was a battle between the Barclays Women’s Super League’s top two at Stamford Bridge.
City travelled to London as the league leaders with six wins and one draw from our opening seven games, with Chelsea one place and one point behind having played one fewer match.
Both sides were looking to extend unbeaten starts to the campaign in all competitions, and knew a positive result - while not season defining - could prove significant in the WSL title race.
Gareth Taylor‘s side had beaten Chelsea in this fixture in 2023/24 and were aiming for an 11th win in a row in all competitions, but knew we’d need to be at our best to make that ambition a reality.
Indeed, the hosts’ manager Sonia Bompastor was herself on the cusp of WSL history, searching for a record seventh successive league win from the start of a managerial reign.
It all pointed towards a thrilling clash, with CITY+ subscribers able to relive the game in its entirety via the video above...
