On a much better pitch condition than the one we had in Derby for the Women’s League Cup final, we expected Manchester City and Chelsea Women to bring their A-game. This is pretty much what they did in the first minutes of the match where our midfields clashed horns with one another in search of ball possession and bringing the ball forward.

Manchester City dealt Sonia Bompastor her first defeat as Chelsea boss thanks to Vivianne Miedema's double off the bench to secure a 2-0 advantage in the first leg of the Women's Champions League quarter-final.
