Pernille Harder: better, faster, stronger. Chelsea’s Danish forward returned to the starting XI for the Blues’ demolition of Leicester City and powered them to within a point of league leaders Manchester United with two goals and an assist in a blistering first half.
“Absolutely brilliant, she probably played more minutes than maybe we’d have liked,” said Chelsea’s manager Emma Hayes, of Harder. “We’ve got a lot of players in great form going into the weekend so our strength in depth is really showing.”
