Chelsea secured a dramatic 2-1 comeback win over Manchester City in a Women's Super League match at Etihad Stadium, thanks to Erin Cuthbert's injury-time header. The victory extends Chelsea's lead atop the table, eight points clear with five games remaining, and sets up a pivotal Champions League quarter-final second leg clash on Thursday at Stamford Bridge.
In the first game between the two sides, Chelsea won the Women's League Cup. In the second game, City emerged victorious in the Champions League quarter-final first leg, ending Chelsea's 31-game unbeaten run.
Key players so far have been Vivianne Miedema for City and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd for Chelsea. Managerial changes have also played a role, with Nick Cushing taking over from Gareth Taylor at City.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor and her City counterpart Cushing will go head-to-head again in the Champions League on Thursday.
