Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor speaking to Sky Sports:
“I’m really pleased with the performance and the result. Coming here, being able to score three goals, to create as much as we. created and to keep a clean sheet, it’s a really good performance.
“It was a great performance from Sandy Baltimore individually. It’s great when you have players with that talent. It was important for us to get that first goal, and then it was easier in the game.”
On what she told her players at half-time:
“I always ask the team to find a good balance between keeping the ball and also having the desire to hurt the opposition. Sometimes we need to improve our runs in behind, to have a more direct style of football but also open the spaces in midfield. I think in the second half we were able to do that a bit better than in the first half.
“It’s always better to finish with a win before the break. That’s the best way we could have ended the year in the WSL.”
On the unfamiliar position of trailing the league leaders:
“Since when I joined the club we have always been at the top of the table, this is the first time we are behind. That’s fine, sometimes that happens, I still trust my players and know the quality we have.
“There are many games left for us to reverse the situation. It will be tough, Man City are performing really well, Arsenal and Man United and all the teams in this league are really good. It will be difficult, but we are confident and that’s the only thing we can do, to still have belief, because everything is possible.”
