Madonna watches Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea in WSL

Pop icon Madonna was in attendance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Chelsea bounced back from two straight defeats to beat their hosts 2-0.

Goals from Keira Walsh and Alyssa Thompson got the Blues back on course after losses to Arsenal and Manchester City.

And Erin Cuthbert said afterwards that it was a performance that was indicative of the team spirit.

“It’s been a tough couple of weeks, and one that maybe a lot of us haven’t been used to,” Cuthbert told BBC Sport after the match. “Over the nine, ten years I’ve been here, we’ve had moments like this, and it’s going to be like this. The league is getting better. We played against two top teams who probably beat us quite convincingly.

“It was back to the drawing board this week, back to regrouping and how we show ourselves this week, because we didn’t want to be a Chelsea team that just bowed down game after game. That’s not what we’re about. That’s not what we’re built upon.”

“I think today it was a massive team performance,” said player of the match Sjoeke Nusken. “From the beginning we were there, and we wanted to be straight there after bad results the two games before. I think now we are on the winning way again, we did a good performance today and we will keep going on.”

The result gets Chelsea back in to third place in the league, within the UEFA Women’s Champions League spots, and one point ahead of fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand.

Manchester City remain eight points clear at the top of the table, despite a defeat to the Gunners on Sunday, but Chelsea still have hopes of defending their title, added Nusken, saying: “We know the situation right now, it’s difficult, but we want to keep going on, fight for every single game. It’s Chelsea, we want to win everything.”
