Chelsea boss Emma Hayes has labelled her current crop of players as "the best squad" she's ever worked with following emphatic victories over Tottenham and Real Madrid.
Hayes returned to the touchline last weekend, just five weeks after undergoing an emergency hysterectomy, as the Blues scored three without reply against Spurs. Almost 40,000 fans packed out Stamford Bridge as goals from Sam Kerr, Erin Cuthbert and Guro Reiten saw Chelsea return to the summit of the Women's Super League table.
Hayes' side followed up their crucial league win when they welcomed Real Madrid to Kingsmeadow on Wednesday night, with goals from Cuthbert and Sophie Ingle ensuring the Blues extended their triumphant European run and moved five points clear at the top of their group.
