City then delivered a phenomenal display in Manchester, scoring twice before the break and three times after the interval as we extended our top-flight winning streak to 13 straight matches.

It means we currently sit at the division’s summit with an 11-point advantage on second heading into the final eight WSL matches of 2025/26.

And Jeglertz admitted he was speechless when addressing his players following the precious success at the Etihad.

“When you are winning a game, no matter what, it is special of course,” he declared.

“It’s an empty feeling. It’s almost like ‘okay so it seems like you’re not happy’. Of course you are extremely happy.

“In the circle afterwards it’s the first time I said to the players, ‘I don’t know what to say’ because I’m proud of the performance.

“What they’re able to do and also of course I am pleased but also having a look at the players enjoying the game, smiling and really feeling no matter what, there is this feeling that playing at home, a lot of people expecting us to perform, and they managed it.

“They’re just doing this kind of game with all that, it’s amazing.”

The first of City’s remaining eight WSL matches this term is a trip to Arsenal on Sunday 8 September, with kick-off scheduled for 12:00 (UK).

Jeglertz says the Blues will undoubtedly take the positives from our win over Chelsea into the match at the Emirates Stadium.

But he believes his side’s desire to continually improve will also aid our preparation before another huge top-flight assignment.

He added: “There’ll be a lot of things [we take into Arsenal] but if I know the players well, when we meet again on Tuesday, there will be things they say they want to be better in.

“I’m not worried about that, there’ll be something to improve on but we’ll come back to this about being able to handle different phases of the game.

“It was similar to the [Manchester] United game, we scored at the right moment but then we were also very good in the second half at keeping them away from our goal and creating scoring chances in transitions.

“That’ll definitely be one thing to highlight for the team.”
