"A young player, a lot of talent, but I think we haven't seen yet the best of her, but hopefully we will see that soon,"
"She is coming from abroad, she speaks the language, which helps, but again, it's a new environment, a new club, she needs to learn to connect with new players on the pitch, new team-mates, so hopefully, even sooner, we will see an even better version."
"I think against Tottenham she looked really sharp, it was probably that final product. Today, getting that assist and goal will make her feel a little bit more at ease going into the next game. A little bit of pressure off."
Alyssa Thompson scored her first Chelsea goal in her seventh appearance, tapping home from a Keira Walsh delivery and creating a goal for Johanna Rytting Kaneryd with smart positioning. The 20-year-old produced agile wing runs, led counter-attacks, and energized a dominant win over Paris FC. Her arrival at Chelsea carried high expectations linked to a club-record fee. Half of her previous six appearances had been as a substitute and she had not been involved in goals before this match. Team staff expect continued improvement as she adapts to a new environment and connects with teammates.
