Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor praised her team's resilience after they came from behind to defeat Everton 2-1 in the Women's Super League. The match was tight, echoing their previous FA Cup clash, where Chelsea had also fought back from a deficit. Everton took the lead in the second half, but Mayra Ramirez equalized shortly after. Lauren James scored a late winner, securing Chelsea's position at the top of the WSL standings. Bompastor highlighted the team's confidence and praised James's return to form after injury struggles.
I'm really pleased with the reaction of my players because, even last week, we stayed confident, she said. Today was a little bit different but, again, we trust we are able to score any time in the game.
At the end of the game, we had the talent of LJ [Lauren James] and it's really good when you have these types of players.
Being able to score in that moment, she said. It's a significant moment for James, who has endured injury struggles this season.
