Sonia Bompastor says surprise defeat to Everton ‘really frustrating’ as Chelsea’s long WSL unbeaten run ends | OneFootball

Sonia Bompastor says her Chelsea side are being let down by poor finishing, after their 34-game unbeaten run in the WSL came to an end.

The Blues were beaten 1-0 at home to Everton, meaning they now sit six points behind league leaders Manchester City in the WSL.

“It’s a really frustrating result,” Bompastor said.

“It’s tough, but I think if we analyse the performance and look at the statistics, I don’t think the players could have done a lot more. Maybe we could have been more efficient again, more clinical.

“We created enough shots, crosses, and we hit the woodwork three times. It’s just one of these games where the ball didn’t want to go in, and it was tough.

“If you want to win games, you have to make sure you score goals. I think, again, if you look at our statistics, we are creating enough to win the games, but we are just not being efficient at finishing the chances. I think, for now, what we need to solve is more like how we can get back to scoring goals.

“In the game tonight, we knew we had to be really switched on and focused on the transitions from Everton. I think they scored from one of these early on in the game, and then things changed after we were running after the result.”
