There was one question on everybody’s lips as the Women’s Super League season got back under way – can anybody stop Chelsea?
It is far too early to tell but it was the same old outcome at Stamford Bridge as Sonia Bompastor’s side were not at their best, but showed a ruthless streak again to see off Manchester City.
There were debutants on both sides, a few tweaks here and there, but it did little to change the narrative of another victory for the reigning champions.
“Both teams are nowhere where they want to be. If City made better decisions going forward, they could have had more chances,” former Chelsea defender Gilly Flaherty told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“Chelsea didn’t look invincible as such, but they looked like creating. I think both teams will look different in a few weeks.”
