“M aybe that’s why it’s my favourite year. My own personal health issues, that was frigging hard,” said Emma Hayes after Chelsea’s 2-0 victory against Arsenal ensured they moved to within one win of a fourth successive title.
Marc Skinner and his Manchester United side have been praised by title-rivals Chelsea boss Emma Hayes for their steely resistance in pushing the WSL race to the season’s final day, dubbing Skinner’s squad “far and away one of the best teams in the league this year”.
When Frank Lampard was appointed as Chelsea interim manager for the remainder of the season following Graham Potter’s dismissal in early April, he seemed bullish about his chances of making a success of the job. “I am confident in myself,” he rabble-roused. “I have a good understanding of the squad. I’ll do my utmost in this period coming up to give [the fans] what they want with my own hard work.” And while this introductory press conference would have created quite the palaver had he announced: “I intend to mastermind defeat in our next six games, go on a two-match unbeaten run and then lose another two before our last home game of the season,” it was still quite big talk from a man who was sacked after overseeing just four wins in 23 games this season while in charge of Everton.
T he former Arsenal and England striker Kelly Smith knows how hard it is to win when there is a target on your back. Arsenal were perennial winners when Smith was a player there, across three stints between 1996 and 2017.
The Chelsea captain Magdalena Eriksson made sure her last appearance at Kingsmeadow ended in spectacular fashion as she scored the second goal in the Blues’ 2-0 win over Arsenal. The Blues have confirmed the influential skipper will be leaving the club this summer, alongside Pernille Harder, after winning 11 trophies since signing six years ago. The victory against the Gunners has kept Eriksson’s 12th trophy across all competitions and fifth WSL title charge with Chelsea on course as they head into the final round two points clear of Manchester United. Chelsea manager Emma Hayes said of her departing captain: “Magda has been so pivotal to our success. For her to get that moment in her final home game, in front of the fans she loves, nothing will mean more to her. Everybody wanted that fairytale for her. She has been our captain and leader. I know the work that has gone on behind the scenes to get the team to where it is.” SR
Manchester United scored a stoppage-time winner against ten-woman Manchester City to take the Women's Super League title fight down to the final day.
LONDON : Women's Super League (WSL) leaders Chelsea beat Arsenal 2-0 on Sunday to give themselves a five-point cushion at the summit of the standings and move within touching distance of a fourth straight league crown.
It has taken Emma Hayes four games to get the better of Jonas Eidevall in the league since he joined Arsenal from Rosengard in 2021, more than any other manager she has faced, but there was no more significant time to get the win against her foe and no more significant a scorer of their second in the 2-0 win.
