Chelsea began the defense of his crown in the Women’s Super League with a prestigious victory in Stamford Bridge. The London team won Manchester City 2-1 in a high-level match, in which Aggie Beever-Jones became the protagonist when opening the score and lead the ‘blues’ towards his first win of the season.
The 22 -year -old striker, formed in the club’s quarry, took advantage of a precise center of Ellie Carpenter to beat the rival goalkeeper and celebrate the Shed End in a special scenario for her. With that goal, Beever-Jones signed the first goal of the new WSL campaign, confirming his progression after a summer in which he shone with the English team in the European championship played in Switzerland.
After the break, Chelsea expanded its advantage thanks to the success of Maika Hamano, who took advantage of a collective play to mark the second goal of the night. Although Manchester City managed to cut distances in the final stretch, the team led by Sonia Bompastor kept his composure and secured a victory that reinforces his ambition at the start of the course.
Beever-Jones was especially excited at the end of the match: “Backing to Bridge is like being at home. Personally I was very excited to score, but the most important thing was to start the campaign with a victory in such a demanding game.” The attacker also highlighted the contribution of Hamano and the decisive role of Carpenter, which debuted with the team.
The triumph in Stamford Bridge confirms the strength of a Chelsea that has barely had time to work in block during the preseason, but already shows signs of continuity compared to last year. The template combines experience and youth, and has figures called to make differences both in the domestic competition and in Europe.
With this victory, the ‘blues’ start with good footing the defense of a title that will seek to revalidate in a season that promises to be of maximum demand in the WSL.
