Erin Cuthbert played a crucial role in helping Chelsea secure a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the Women’s Super League. Known for her strong desire and leadership, Cuthbert responded to her coach Sonia Bompastor’s concerns about the team's lack of fight following a Champions League defeat to City. In the match, Cuthbert scored in the final minute, sealing the victory for Chelsea. Her goal came from a well-placed cross by Ashley Lawrence, highlighting her determination to make an impact. Cuthbert described her approach to scoring, stating that she was willing to put her body on the line. Chelsea captain Millie Bright praised Cuthbert’s intensity, saying she gives her all in every game. Cuthbert's contributions helped Chelsea control the tempo of the match, especially after halftime when they switched to a more aggressive pressing game. Despite a frustrating first half for Bompastor, Chelsea regrouped and improved in the second half. They created many chances and took control of the game, outshooting City significantly. The win keeps Chelsea's hopes alive for an unbeaten season in the league. With City struggling to keep up in the league, they now face challenges concerning European qualification. Looking ahead, Chelsea must overturn a 2-0 deficit against City in the upcoming Champions League match. If Cuthbert can replicate her recent performance, she may lead Chelsea to victory once again.
