Chelsea put one hand on a sixth consecutive Women’s Super League title after Erin Cuthbert’s 91st-minute winner restored their eight-point lead at the top of the table.
Cuthbert powered home a diving header with time ticking away at the Etihad Stadium to seal a comeback victory for Sonia Bompastor’s side, who hold a commanding advantage with five games left.
‘The gaffer didn’t tell me to do that!’ a delighted Cuthbert said. ‘I’ve been challenging myself to get in the box more and I didn’t care what body part it hit, I just wanted to get to it first.
