Chelsea finished 2023 on a high with a professional victory against a stubborn BK Häcken that showed all of their experience. One goal from Sam Kerr and two from Erin Cuthbert took them top of Group D in the Women’s Champions League.
While being pleased with her side’s win, Emma Hayes was mindful of the challenge Häcken had presented throughout. “The first half was a little laboured,” she said. “I thought we were static. There were positional adjustments we made at half-time to correct that. I think we controlled the second half. It wasn’t perfect and they created chances but overall, I think we were dominant and deserved the win.”
