Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor praised her team's resilience following their decisive 3-1 victory over Leicester City in the Women's Super League. After a frustrating draw against Brighton, Bompastor highlighted her players' quick recovery mentality, which allowed them to respond effectively in this crucial match. The win widened their lead to eight points over second-placed Manchester United. Catarina Macario scored first for Chelsea, followed by Aggie Beever-Jones, before Erin Cuthbert confirmed the victory after a brief response from Yuka Momiki for Leicester. The match was further buoyed by the return of Mia Fishel after a long injury.
After dropping points in the last game, everyone was all frustrated. We are all competitors and we hate to drop points. That's the winning mentality at Chelsea. We had one day where we were frustrated and then we had to bounce back because it was a quick turnaround to the game tonight, and that was maybe the best thing that could happen to us.
Chelsea have always shown they react. I was expecting to see that from my players after we dropped points on Sunday.
