Chelsea Women drew 2-2 with Manchester City Women
CHELSEA’S WOMEN’S SUPER LEAGUE TITLE DEFENSE IS IN THEIR HANDS. BUT MANCHESTER CITY IS STILL ON FIRE AFTER AN EXCITING CLASH AT THE ACADEMY STADIUM.
Lauren Hemp’s late equalizer confirmed City’s two-point deficit to Chelsea with two games remaining after an unexpected reunion.
Lauren Hemp was left on the bench after Chelsea made a mistake. Fran Kirby and Millie Bright tied the game at 2-2 after Pernille Harder gave the visitors the lead.
Sam Kerr opened the scoring with a stunning header before City’s Chloe Kelly equalized.
The City had numerous late-game chances to win.
However, Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger performed a miracle by denying Hemp before the Georgia Stanway strike.
During the break, Lucy Bronze won from an unmarked place.
At the same time, Kerr had a chance to deny Chelsea the championship with the game’s final kick.
However, when they confronted goalie Ellie Roebuck, they were denied.
As the championship winner, the match was submitted.
Both managers believed that the outcome of the match would have a significant impact on the title’s course.
It was suggested that it be the two teams’ greatest match of the season.
Man City manager Gareth Taylor revealed that this has been “weeping” for months.
It did not disappoint because it was all about the WSL winner.
The penalty situation, the skill on both teams, and the constant flow of offensive football
When Kelly’s drive required saving in the area near Berger before Bronze reduced Kerr after robbing her of her stuff, the noise was set up less than two minutes from City.
Chelsea could emerge victorious.
They led for the first 15 minutes as Hemp and Kelly continued to cause issues from Chelsea’s various positions, while Sam and Mewis demonstrated her might in the center of the pitch.
However, Kerr was able to slip in behind City’s defense twice in the first few minutes before her head opened with a goal, and Chelsea gained momentum.
Roebuck had the ball and Kerr’s great cut. Harder kept her cool while getting punched in the box, allowing her to put it inside.
As the game went, it grew increasingly open – City placed pressure on them late in the game, knowing that the winner would transform it into a title race.
Berger’s heroism denies that Hemp and Stanway kept Chelsea in it.
Bronze, on the other hand, blew a wonderful opportunity by twisting her wide head from an unmarked place six yards in the stands.
Kerr then came face to face with the game’s last act, and it would not have been surprising if another incredible opportunity presented itself.
Roebuck, on the other hand, pretended to be large and stopped the shot.
Chelsea might win the Premier League title in their next encounter against Tottenham Hotspur.
If City does not fall up, Chelsea might win the league at Tottenham on May 2.
But the result was a bittersweet victory for Chelsea, who now holds the trophy with two games remaining.
And manager Emma Hayes’ celebrations on the field have amply demonstrated this.
Gareth Taylor, manager of Manchester City:
“It seemed like a winner late to me.” We had a terrific chance, but their goalie produced a fantastic save.
There is still hope, but you can understand the players’ dissatisfaction.
It appeared that we would find the winner late, but we were out of date.”
In order to defeat Chelsea, they must:
“Details. As you can see, there is very little difference between the two teams.
We are at a greater or lower level. We have proved that we can be there with them.
I believe it is simply a matter of time and a little detail.
“I’m proud of the way we played this season and the football we played.”

Emma Hayes, manager of Chelsea:
“They deserved to win the game.” So Man City was supposed to come to us when they defeated 2-1 at half-time.
It was not a pleasant experience. We believed it was one of those we should see.
“The entire group has remained together and stable where essential.”
They eventually transformed our anxieties into enjoyment, and in the end, it was the only fun we had.
“I’m so glad the game is over.” I despised the entire second half! It was quite uncomfortable and painful.
I’m relieved it’s finished.
“As I’ve stated many times, you may score goals to win games, but defense wins championships.”
Ann Katrin-Berger is an invaluable member of the team.
She responds more when she is under a lot of pressure.
