"She's a great player. As you could see tonight, she brought an immediate impact on the performance and on the result. She has this quality, so it's a good addition to our squad and it's good to have her here. Having the opportunity to bring players with her quality into Chelsea is always something really positive, and we are really proud to have her in our squad."
"I'm pleased with the result, but also with the performance," Bompastor added. "I think we had control in the first half. We created the most dangerous opportunities in the game, but conceded from a set piece. At the end, the game was more transitional because I think both teams were probably not 100% physically, but overall, I think we had a good performance in and out of possession. We were strong."
Chelsea defeated Manchester City 2-1 at Stamford Bridge to begin their WSL title defence with a win. Ellie Carpenter assisted Aggie Beaver-Jones’ opener, won 10 of 11 duels, regained possession seven times, and created two chances from six crosses. Sonia Bompastor, who previously coached Carpenter at Lyon, expressed that Carpenter brought immediate impact and quality to the squad. Chelsea extended an unbeaten WSL run to 26 matches and Bompastor reached 20 English top-flight wins in a record 23 matches. Andree Jeglertz managed Manchester City in his first competitive match in charge.
