Emma Hayes praised the impact of her substitutes as Chelsea won a Women's Super League five-goal thriller against Reading at a snowy Kingsmeadow.
The WSL champions survived a second half scare to win 3-2, Reading scoring twice in the space of a minute to turn the game on its' head after the Blues led 3-0 at the interval. Manager Hayes joked afterwards that her team "wanted to make it entertaining" for the home fans who braved the cold to watch their team go back to the top of the league on Sunday night.
Chelsea looked comfortable after a goal from Fran Kirby and two from Jelena Cankovic only to endure a scare close to the hour mark. The Blues were then spooked when Amalie Eikeland poked the ball home, only seconds after Sanne Troelsgaard had scored as Reading hit back.
