Chelsea’s hopes of retaining two of their three titles remain alive after Veerle Buurman’s wonderful drive and strike earned the Blues a 2-1 win in an end-to-end battle with Tottenham, securing a place in the FA Cup semi-finals. Sonia Bompastor’s side needed a result after a frustrating week, having crashed out of the Champions League despite a battling 1-0 win against Arsenal in the second leg of their quarter-final tie.
They were good against the Gunners, and unlucky to have had a Buurman goal incorrectly ruled out in the first leg, but they were lacking in the final third.
