Emma Hayes praised the reaction of her players after Chelsea came from behind and battled back after the sending-off of the goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger to earn a 3-1 win from a feisty match with Tottenham and maintain their title charge.
“In crisis I think my team do really well,” the manager said. “There’s rarely times in the last few years [where] in crisis we go under. I thought that was an amazing display of courage, confidence, conviction, togetherness, camaraderie. You cannot understate it.”
