"Millie Bright insisted that Women's Super League champions Chelsea are not facing "a crisis" after seeing their record-breaking unbeaten run ended by Everton. Chelsea have failed to win their last three games in the WSL for the first time since September 2018, with their last league defeat before Sunday coming 585 days ago. Manchester City now lead the way by six points after 10 games of the season, with Manchester United and Arsenal in hot pursuit of Sonia Bompastor's team, who are second."
""It's not a crisis, so we don't behave in any other way than if we'd won the game," Bright told reporters. "We go back out there, get training again, keep the morale up and stick together and bounce back. There's no time to dwell because we play in the Champions League.""
"In their last European fixture, Chelsea were held to a 1-1 draw by last year's beaten finalists Barcelona, representing their second draw of the league phase in 2025-26. But they will be confident of getting back on track against a Roma team who are one of only five teams yet to register a victory heading into matchday five. Roma had also conceded the second-most goals heading into the latest round of fixtures (12), but Bright acknowledged that Chelsea would need to be at their best to win."
Chelsea's record-breaking unbeaten run ended with a 1-0 loss to Everton, marking their first stretch of three winless WSL games since September 2018 and their first league defeat in 585 days. The Blues registered 30 shots in that match, their most in a top-flight home game without scoring, and slipped behind Manchester City, who lead by six points. Chelsea will face Roma in the Women's Champions League while sitting seventh in their group but only one point off the top four. Millie Bright stressed cohesion, training focus and a short recovery before European action.
