"It's tough, but I think if we analysed the performance and look at the statistics, I don't think the players could have done a lot more."
"Maybe we could have been more efficient again, more clinical. We created enough shots, crosses, and we hit the woodwork three times."
"It's just one of those games where the ball didn't want to go in, and it was tough. If you want to win games, you have to make sure you score goals."
"In the game tonight, we knew we had to be really switched on and focused on the transitions from Everton. I think they scored from one of these early on in the game, and then things changed after we were running after the result."
Chelsea's 34-game Women's Super League unbeaten run ended with a 1-0 home defeat to Everton after Honoka Hayashi's 12th-minute goal. Chelsea produced 30 shots—the most in a WSL home game they failed to score in—but registered only six on target and 1.5 expected goals, hitting the woodwork three times, including late efforts from Wieke Kaptein and Sandy Baltimore. Manager Sonia Bompastor described the outcome as frustrating, noting strong chance creation but insufficient finishing. Chelsea now sit six points behind leaders Manchester City and have failed to win three consecutive WSL matches for the first time since 2018.
