Amandine Miquel praised her Leicester side after they prevented Chelsea from becoming the first team to win their opening 10 Women’s Super League games.
David and Goliath analogies are perhaps a little overused, but in the context of injury-hit Leicester hosting the all-conquering Chelsea, the use of the phrase was more than apt. Such was the shock when David took first blood, through the early substitute Missy Goodwin, that Leicester fans did not quite know what to do with themselves, before affording their players a standing ovation at the end of the first half. Wieke Kaptein provided the response to put Chelsea six points clear of Manchester City, before City play Everton on Sunday.
