Laura Coombs has highlighted the importance of Filippa Angeldahl after her standout display against Chelsea.

The Swede opened the scoring in spectacular fashion in our 2-0 win over the reigning WSL champions, lobbing the ball over Ann-Katrin Berger from just inside the area.

It capped off a brilliant performance from the midfielder, whose tireless running and excellent technical ability drove Gareth Taylor‘s side on to a potentially significant victory at the Academy Stadium.

For Coombs, it was an example of the growing influence that Angeldahl is having on City’s midfield, in particular hailing her composure on the ball.

Filippa is just a dream, the epitome of calm,” the England international reflected following the victory.

“I’m so happy for her. It was some strike, no back lift, top corner, just wow.

We are such a good group and everyone is so calm and composed.

“When it comes to the big games now we know what we have to do and really just stick to our game plan.

“We’ve got some amazing talent at the top end of the pitch to rely on every week and we are just over the moon.”
