Chelsea win at home! And keep a clean sheet! For the first time since January!
Matt Davies-Adams has The Athletic’s Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher for company for a look back on the 2-0 win over Manchester United on Saturday.
After a tumultuous first half where the visitors had Xabi Alonso’s side on the ropes - the second brought far more positive signs. We lavish praise on Acheampong and Lavia, laud Estevao’s first Premier League start of the season (!) - and give Penders his flowers after bouncing back from last weekend’s disappointment.
Plus, Chelsea Women kept up their charge to regain their WSL crown with an emphatic 6-0 win over Charlton on Sunday.
