Tom Garry was at Leigh Sports Village tonight, and here’s his verdict. Thanks for reading this MBM.

Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor speaks to the BBC. “I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied because we always play the games to try to win them … but it’s a tough place to come and play … we were better out of possession in the second half … we created some really good opportunities and scored a great goal … we couldn’t score more than one … but to be fair the draw is the result that reflects most of the game … we tried to be in control … especially in the last 30 minutes … the players who came in did well … energy and quality … some good opportunities … we could have scored but Man United are a good team … good individuals so maybe a fair result tonight.”

… then on her yellow card: “I am smiling because for me the call was a wrong call … it was clear to everyone except the referee … so I showed my frustration … of course I know you can’t do that when you are the manager because you have to lead by example but we also lead by emotions … I still think it was the wrong call.”
