Chelsea FCW, growth, dominance, and taking the scenic route
Chelsea’s best season to date has also been one of the most grueling
Share this story
Already, this has been Chelsea FCW’s best ever season. The Blues have been showered in confetti twice already, after winning the league and the league cup. So it’s also a fair bit of genuine irony – not the Alanis Morisette kind – that Chelsea have achieved it all the hard way.
Heading into the 2020-21 season Chelsea faced a lot of questions? What kind of form would Fran Kirby be in? How would the previous season’s top scorer, Bethany England (14 goals, 15 assists in 15 games) fit with Sam Kerr and now Pernille Harder? What about last season’s top assister, Guro Reiten (7 assists, 5 goals)? How do you fit all of the attackers on the pitch? What formation will Emma Hayes deploy? How will other summer signing Melanie Leupolz integrate in midfield? And, assuming all that could get sorted: how good can we really be?

Manchester United s 2-1 defeat to Leicester in the Premier League on Tuesday night confirmed Man City had finally wrapped up the title. Goals from Luke Thomas and Caglar Soyuncu ensured Leicester defeated an under-strength United at Old Traffford, after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had made 10 changes to his team. Solskjaer handed debuts to youngsters Amad and Anthony Elanga, and although Mason Greenwood continued his fine goal-scoring form with another strike, United were consigned to their fifth league defeat of the campaign.
