    FT: Chelsea 1-0 Man City

    Chelsea manager Emma Hayes: "It feels like every win is a huge win. I do think it’s the tightest league campaign so it does feel like you can’t drop points anywhere. I’ve said all along league titles are decided the second half of the season and my team is in a strong position after today’s result. We’re three points closer to the step we want to get to.

    (On facing leaders Arsenal next week). "Ooof, for a derby game, a television game, on a Friday night with a packed crowd it’s going to be an amazing atmosphere and I know Arsenal will give as good as they can get."
