Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor is embracing her side being the team to beat in the WSL after they went top with a 2-0 win over title rivals Manchester City.
Bompastor, the first coach in the league's history to win her opening seven games in the competition, kept up her perfect record at Chelsea since taking over from Emma Hayes thanks to second-half goals from Mayra Ramirez and Guro Reiten at Stamford Bridge. City were also unbeaten heading into the game and top of the table, but Chelsea's crucial win puts the champions two points in front with a game in hand, which means they could feasibly extend their lead to five points.
'If we keep our players healthy and I have all the squad, then yeah, I will maybe be able to tell you, with the players coming back late that it could be possible.' Chelsea kept up their 100 per cent record at Stamford Bridge in the WSL against City, with 19,499 in attendance in west London, on the first weekend when all games across the competition are being played in main stadiums. 'It was really special,' said Bompastor.
