Lucy Bronze says that Chelsea “wants to remain unbeaten the season” after she has achieved seven points ahead in the top of the Women's Super League after beating title rival Arsenal.
The Blues went to a 1-0 win over Stamford Bridge on Sunday thanks to a late Penalty from Guro Reiten, while Arsenal closed the match with ten players after Katie received McCabe twice a yellow card in seven seconds due to the decision to be the penalty kick give. .
Chelsea has now won 41 of their last 43 home games in the WSL (D1 L1), a series that started with a 3-0 win against Arsenal in February 2021. The Blues All eight also won their league matches on Stamford Bridge.
The Sonia Bompastor team won eleven of their twelve WSL matches this season and played the other, while they are also through to the knockout phase of the Women's Champions League, the semi-final of the Women's League Cup and the fifth round of The FA Cup.
They have not yet lost under the Frenchwoman since she took over the baton from Emma Hayes, and Bronze is convinced that they can hold that level until the end of the campaign.
“We try to win four prizes and that is difficult,” Bronze told BBC Two.
'We wanted to grab a good point number [to be in a good position] When we are in the middle of it in March, April and May.
“It's difficult [then] And you could drop points, but we are now in a good place and we are in the elevator. We want to go unbeaten the season.
“There are records to break. Chelsea is a team that has always wanted to do that.
“We have never won the Champions League. We have achieved five national titles in a row [going] undefeated [would be] Incredible. We are on the right track to do that. “
Chelsea has remained unbeaten twice before in the WSL, in 2017-2018 and 2019-20, while the only English team that did not lose in all competitions was Arsenal in 2006-2007, the season in which they won the four-fold.
Despite their healthy lead at the table, Bompastor quickly pointed out that they have not won anything yet.
“That [going unbeaten] Is not what I think at the moment. I am very happy with the result. As you could see in the game, the margins were very small, “she said.
“These achievements are on the edge. It can go one way, but it went our way, which I am very happy with.
“We just want to watch it competition before competition and ensure that we make the right decisions to achieve great results. We are still far removed from winning something.”
