Blues did 'talking on the pitch' but can it be repeated?published at 08:46 26 August
Former WSL striker Natasha Dowie says Chelsea's 6-2 win over Wolves "is a big statement" but feels building on it is what matters.
Chelsea took the lead after 98 seconds at Molineux and a second-half Noni Madueke hat-trick gave them their first Premier League victory of the season.
"If you are a Chelsea fan, or player, then you want to do your talking on the pitch," said Dowie on the BBC Radio 5 Live Football Daily Podcast. "And there has been too much talk off the pitch because of everything that has been going on at the club and the poor result in the opening game of the season.
"To go away to Wolves and score six goals is a big statement and they need to continue that. It cannot be a one off.
"It was a great result and I am sure the fans are very happy because there has been so much negativity around the club. I am sure that will still be around but it might brush it under the carpet until the next game."
