"Chelsea moved back up to third in the Women's Super League as they bounced back from back-to-back defeats with a 2-0 win over rivals Tottenham on Sunday. Sonia Bompastor's side remain nine points adrift of leaders Manchester City, who were beaten by Arsenal earlier in the day. Spurs nearly went in front after 11 minutes as Olivia Holdt roamed forward with the ball and tried her luck from 25 yards out, but her shot cannoned off the crossbar."
"The hosts continued to threaten as neat work down the flank from Julie Blakstad created an opening, with her cross picking out Bethany English, but her volley flew over. Despite being under pressure, the Blues took the lead in the 39th minute as Spurs failed to properly deal with a corner from Erin Cuthbert, eventually leading to the unmarked Keira Walsh finding the back of the net."
