The Londoners tried everything – 30 shots, 18 corners, 61 touches in the rival area – but anxiety and lack of success condemned them.

Meanwhile, City knew how to suffer against Leicester and ended up winning (0-3) thanks to the emergence of Kerolinwho revolutionized the attack and participated in the three goals. Now, those from Manchester lead with a six-point advantage and nine consecutive victories, showing a solidity reminiscent of their best years.

Chelsea, full of talent but with significant losses such as Hannah Hampton o Erin Cuthbertyou will have to react quickly if you don’t want to see the title slip away. The key event will be on February 1, when they visit City. Until then, it’s time to rebuild confidence and sharpen your aim.
