    FT: Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal

    Arsenal

    Arsenal boss Renee Slegers, speaking to Sky Sports: "Very disappointed. We know it's a tough game Chelsea away. I think we did well in the first half in the physical battle and dominated until their goal. We found it hard in the second half and it cost us more energy."

    On what isn't working: "It's a cocktail of things. It's everything. Technical and psychological. We're looking at it. I believe in these players. The goals and the points will come. I believe in them."

    On title challenge: "We have to earn the right to talk about this because we've lost too many points at the moment. Look at the next game and get the points."

    On what's next: "Work hard, reflect and go forward. I want to take everything away from the players because I think they're at their very best when they're light. There is so much quality in the squad."

    Chelsea

    Chelsea midfielder and player of the match winner Keira Walsh, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's hard, Arsenal were chasing a goal and changed formation a bit. It was important that we kept a clean sheet and stayed in the game. Ellie [Carpenter] took us up the pitch a bit at the end and it really helped.

    On unbeaten record: "I don't really think we think about it. We've got both sides to our game and we showed that tonight in spells. Everyone was fighting for each other. Every first and second ball was ours.

    On Lyon game: "She'll [Sonia Bompastor] probably try and play it cool. For us, it's about rest and recovery. We've not spoken about Lyon yet but we're all looking forward to it.

    On Malard: "She's massive for us. She puts in work off the ball and sets off the press. Her awareness of people around her and her ability, she's an incredible striker and she'll be very good for us."

    I support Chelsea and think they are a good side, but they were lucky too win today. They seemed to go into defensive mode for the last 20 minutes, without any plan to counter Arsenal's attacks. With only a one goal lead I felt they were lucky.

  7. 'I have a lot of respect for the Arsenal fans'published at 18:46 BST 27 September

    FT: Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal

    Chelsea

    Chelsea midfielder Katie McCabe speaking to Sky Sports: "For me, it was all about us today and our preparation going into the game. Arsenal pose a lot of threats and have got a lot of quality in and around the box, but it was up to us to ride the storm a little bit in the first half. But I think once we settled and kept the ball, we dominated in periods - and Alyssa took her goal really well."

    On the reception for the Arsenal fans: "When you have been at a club for so long, it's expected - especially when you move to a London rival. I have a lot of respect for the Arsenal fans, we have been through a lot together. but, for me, it was time for a new chapter in my career and coming to Chelsea and the way Sonia wants to play, with the quality we have in have in the team, I was really excited about it. I'm really happy about it."

    Chelsea leading the way on clean sheets while City, although they may be winning matches, are still conceding silly goals (also in CL). Clean sheets/goal difference will be vital this season and I see Chelsea edging City in lifting the WSL trophy and possibly CL.

    Chelsea

    Chelsea goal-scorer Alyssa Thompson speaking to Sky Sports: "Very excited. I thought the team did very well. We fought for each other. We knew the beginning of the first half wasn't the best but we came together and got the win. It was a difficult game. Arsenal is always a good game."

    On her goal: "I've been wanting that goal since the beginning of the season."

    On what the win means: "It's big for us. We have a lot of games coming up. For team morale, it's amazing. We've stuck together through all these games."

    I think Arsenal left it a little bit too late to push forward and they were wasteful with the chances they had in the second half.

    They just didn't make the most of the chances when they were on top. Arsenal didn't do enough today.

    As Alyssa Thompson conducts a TV interview, Sonia Bompastor and her Chelsea players soak up the atmosphere as they wait for their match-winner to join the huddle.

    They then push Katie McCabe into the middle of the huddle. Today will be extra sweet for a Chelsea fan who spent so many years playing for Arsenal.

    That's it!

    Chelsea end Arsenal's 20-game unbeaten run in the WSL, with Alyssa Thompson's reaction finish in the first half the difference.

    Arsenal are now winless in three league games and find themselves seven points adrift of league leaders Manchester City. Renee Slegers' side have scored just two goals in four league games this term. Where do they go from here?
