Bethany England scored twice for Chelsea FC Women as they put in a clinical second half performance to thrash rivals Tottenham Hotspur Women 5-1 and seal a quarter-final place in the FA Women’s Continental League Cup.

Second half goals from Drew Spence, Erin Cuthbert, Deanna Cooper and two from England maintained their perfect record in the cup.

Rosella Ayane scored a consolation for the away side who rarely threatened the hosts’ goal.

The win ensures Chelsea stay top of Group D in the competition.

After a quiet first 45, Chelsea got the breakthrough soon after half time.

The away side failed to clear a free kick and after England’s shot was well blocked, the ball falling fortuitously to Spence who fired home from eight yards.

Soon after, they doubled their lead. Ashleigh Neville was adjudged to have fouled Hannah Blundell and Cuthbert stood up confidently to score her side’s second.

England then got the goal she deserved moments later. Ji So-yun did well to lay the ball off to the striker who then buried it expertly past Chloe Morgan.

I missed the Spurs game on Wednesday because I was lucky enough to be invited to attend the Chelsea Foundation anti-semitism event at The Imperial War Museum that night. I was at the game in Solihul yesterday however, when the Blues hit Birmingham for six. Highlights: -

The FA Women's Super League is, as expected, shaping up to be a three horse race between Arsenal, Man City & Chelsea. The head-to-head clashes among the big three are therefore crucial. Good then that The Blues were victorious in this afternoon's meeting with City. The come from behind 2-1 win exactly matches the result we achieved against Arsenal. We leapfrog City into secod place, two points behind Arsenal but we have a game in hand on both of our rivals.

The women return to league action today having progressed to the 5th round of the FA Cup and the final of the League Cup in the two games since their last WSL fixture. They face West Ham at Kingsmeadow this afternoon. Kick-off is 2pm.

It's shaping up to be a great title race between Arsenal, City and Chelsea. We're one point behind our two rivals, but with a game in hand over both of them. If the girls can take care of business on the next two Sundays, they will go to Manchester on 23rd February for a crunch game with City. Chelsea are running supporter's coaches to that game if anybody here want to lend their support to CFCW's title push. Book places for the trip at: https://etm.eventsair.com/chelsea-supporter-travel/. The best way to get tickets for the game is via the Chelsea Women Supporters Group on Facebook. They are buying block tickets to secure a discount for travelling Blues.

How can guys like Willian Alonso Batshyuayi Emerson and the rest turds make the club proud when they have next to nothing about football intelligence I mean their football IQ is virtually non existent....

An update about tickets and club organised travel to Manchester for the key WSL showdown with City, and to Nottingham for the League Cup Final against Arsenal, plus a changed kick-off time for The FA Cup game at home to Liverpool Women.

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2020/02/05/conti-cup-final-ticket-news--subsidised-coaches-available-for-fi

Please note, you do NOT need to be a CFC member or season ticket holder to book a seat on one of the club coaches but non members/STs will need to make a telephone booking rather than an online one.

The girls are playing well, scoring lots of goals and face a month of big matches ahead. Throw in the affordable travel and, if you haven't been tempted to go to a CFCW game before, now's your chance.
