Bompastor bemoans Chelsea’s ‘intentions’
Chelsea dropped points for only the second time this season in Sunday’s toe-to-toe battle with Brighton at Broadfield Stadium. The league leaders and reigning champions trailed 2-1 at half-time against opponents who played with flair and skill. But Mayra Ramírez came to the rescue when her shot on goal was deflected to Lauren James, who slotted in a 61st-minute equaliser, earning a 2-2 draw. “It’s frustrating in terms of the result,” said the Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor. “I said to my players that they needed to start the game with the same intention that we showed in the second half. I think we had some troubles in the first half because our intentions were not good enough.” RO
