New season, same flaw - Chelsea title hopes already under scrutiny
With 11 minutes remaining, Chelsea appeared to be cruising to victory in their WSL opener against Aston Villa. So how did they throw it away?
Chelsea's Women's Super League opener against Aston Villa ended in a 1-1 draw, despite dominating possession and shots. Manager Sonia Bompastor insists her team must be more clinical in front of goal. Veteran Lauren James and summer signing Katie McCabe showcased their talents, but Chelsea failed to capitalize on numerous chances.
The manager expressed disappointment, stating it's not Chelsea's standard to drop points at home. The club's previous struggles in converting opportunities, such as their three defeats and four draws this season, suggest the issue runs deeper than individual performances.
