The frustrations of last weekend’s 1-1 draw unfortunately carried over for the Blues as we’d have to settle for a scoreless draw against the newly re-crowned Champions of Sweden. Despite over two dozen shots and two disallowed goals, Chelsea failed to find the back of the net, and are heading home with just the solitary point from Gothenburg.
The home side actually tested Livia Peng more than we ever did Jennifer Falk in their net, but thankfully our backup goalkeeper was up to the task and made a couple
crucial saves to preserve at least the point.
Not one for the memory books, this.
And not exactly the sort of performance or result that you’d want going into this weekend’s WSL title-showdown against Manchester City, but perhaps we were distracted by the proposition of that crucial clash.
Carefree.
- Good to see Erin Cuthbert back
- Just three goals scored in four games in Europe; though with four clean sheets
- Two dropped points leave Chelsea on just 8 points from the four matches played in the league phase thus far; not tragic, but not entirely comfortable for a top-four finish (and a direct place in the quarterfinals): massive game against PSG at home next week
- But first, an even more massive game against Manchester City on Saturday, at the Bridge
- KTBFFH
