Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor, speaking to Sky Sports: “Really important. This result means a lot. When you just dropped points it’s really important to win the game after and the reaction was good from my players, but I was expecting that.”

On the performance: “We were able to score really quickly. We had a lot of opportunities. We could have been more clinical in the box. When we were 2-0 up we cannot concede the goal we conceded. When you are winning 2-0 you need to control more things and we gave the goal to Leicester. We need to control the game in that aspect.”

On what is harder than earlier in season: “I don’t think it’s confidence. We have been rotating the squad a lot and sometimes we are less fluid than in the beginning of the season. I’m not too worried, I know the quality of my squad and the talent in my team. We will need that for the bigger games coming up, but it was really important to score three goals.

“I have depth in my squad and it is nice to rotate because it gives the opportunity to every player in my squad to show the qualities that they have. I think we’ve missed a little bit of chemistry at times in the team.”

On big games coming up: “We are ready mentally, physically and in all the aspects. We are really looking forward to those moments. It is in these big games you can win titles.”
