Tottenham Hotspur boss Rehanne Skinner admitted that competing against Chelsea and the rest of the league’s top three on the pitch will continue to be difficult until a lack of squad depth is addressed.
Spurs fell to a 3-0 defeat to London rivals Chelsea at a rollicking Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. The loss consigned Skinner’s side to their third defeat of the season and their sixth derby loss to Chelsea in the WSL.
A bright start from Spurs in which Jessica Naz and Drew Spence looked to use their pace to unsettle the reigning champions quickly fizzled out as Sam Kerr’s opener before the quarter-hour mark unleashed a slew of Chelsea goals that saw Spurs languish 3-0 before the interval.
