Over 46,500 supporters packed into Emirates Stadium on London Derby day as we kicked off 2023 with a draw with league leaders Chelsea.
We were leading until the dying moments thanks to a valiant team performance and a Kim Little penalty, until Sam Kerr popped up with a close-range header to steal a draw.
What happened
We began with the lion’s share of possession, putting our visitors under pressure from the off through the relentless work and pressing of Stina Blackstenius and Caitlin Foord.
In the first of many moments of brilliance from our Swedish striker, Blackstenius poached the ball at the halfway line and stormed down the pitch.
