Chelsea duo Erin Cuthbert and Zecira Musovic praised new manager Sonia Bompastor following their unbeaten start to the season and the smooth transition to her leadership.
The Blues have won all five of their first Women’s Super League (WSL) games as well as their opening two Champions League group stage games against Real Madrid and FC Twente.
It is the first time that Chelsea have had a five-game unbeaten streak to start the league season, and under the guidance of Bompastor, who took the helm of the club in the summer following Emma Hayes’ departure to the United States women’s national team, Cuthbert said there is more to come as the French manager continues to mould the side.
“It’s unfamiliar territory for us. We’ve not really been in that position,” Cuthbert told ESPN on Tuesday. “I think it’s our best-ever start to a WSL season, which is amazing. But again, it’s only a start, so I’m very much going to be the pessimist in this and say we’re five games in, and so much can happen yet from a 22-game season.”
Chelsea have won three points in all five of their WSL games thus far, but still have a game in hand against Manchester United to be played on Nov. 23.
Their goal difference is already vastly ahead of their title rivals, with Chelsea scoring 20 goals…
