Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor: "I'm really pleased with the result. As you could see in the game, it was really fine margins. These performances are on the edge. It can go one way or the other way but it went our way which I'm really pleased with.

We were beaten 1-0 at Stamford Bridge in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday. The game was goalless until the 84th minute, when Guro Reiten gave Chelsea the lead from the penalty spot following a foul from Kim Little. Katie McCabe was sent off for dissent after the penalty was awarded.

Crystal Palace were promoted to replace Bristol City in the top flight, while on a wider note, the league is now under the management and operation of a new organisation set up to lead women's football towards further growth and progression, with Nikki Doucet overseeing both the WSL and Championship in a new phase for the game.
