Women's Super League: Chelsea inch closer to title with win at Birmingham
Chelsea kept the Women's Super League title race in their own hands with a nervy win at Birmingham.Without a shot on target in the first half, Chelsea improved somewhat in the second but struggled to make their chances count."First half, I thought we played stressed," Chelsea boss Hayes told Sky Sports. "We rushed things because the goal didn't come.
Birmingham defended diligently and pressed throughout, only allowing the WSL title holders a handful of chances. At the other end, Chelsea goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger sometimes seemed unconvincing at set-pieces but her side managed to keep Birmingham at bay.But they managed to get that game over the line and did so again on Sunday, as Harder scored from the spot after Lisa Robertson handled the ball.
Manager Darren Carter said he didn't have "too many qualms" about the penalty decision but he was "gutted that it's cost us at least a point".
