WSL leaders Chelsea target unbeaten season after ‘perfect’ day

Chelsea have gone unbeaten in the WSL on two occasions in 2017-18 and 2019-20, while Arsenal did the same in 2012-13.

The only English team not to lose in all competitions in the modern era was Arsenal in 2006-2007, when they won the quadruple.

That is an achievement Chelsea hope to replicate but Bompastor was quick to mention that they have “not won anything yet” despite having a healthy lead in the WSL.

“That [going unbeaten] is not what I’m thinking at the moment. I’m really pleased with the result. As you could see in the game, it was really fine margins,” she said.

“These performances are on the edge. It can go one way or the other but it went our way, which I’m really pleased with.

“We just want to take it game by game, making sure we make the right decisions to bring great results. We are far away yet from winning something.”

There were celebrations at full-time from Chelsea’s players and staff as Bompastor revealed she granted them an extra day off following a “perfect” afternoon.

Fans also left Stamford Bridge with a buzz after the club unveiled women’s world-record signing Naomi Girma before the match.

“It was the perfect afternoon in terms of that announcement and the result. It’s great news for all the Chelsea fans,” said Bompastor.

“I would say in terms of psychological elements, [the victory is] huge for sure, but you know we have a lot of games to be played.

“The Champions League will be coming in March and we’ll have to play really big games. It will not be easy.

“If we keep the right mentality, if we keep almost all the players available, then yeah, we are in a good position – but you never know what can happen in football.”
