It’s hard to believe, but Chelsea Women’s narrow win over Crystal Palace in the FA Women’s Cup quarter-final last night was no ordinary victory. Why, you ask? Well, that’s because yesterday, not only did Chelsea’s men’s side secure a 1-0 victory over Leicester City, but the Blues consortium-led, American investor Todd Boehly-owned French side, Strasbourg, also claimed a similar close win over Nantes in Ligue 1. Coincidence? Yes. But what made these wins even more special wasn’t just this uncanny triple 1-0 score line—it was the emphatic return of Emma Hayes to her Chelsea roots.
We hope it’s not hard to believe anymore, eh? Well, that’s just how the beautiful game unfolds sometimes. But addressing the elephant in the room—Emma Hayes might have left ardent Chelsea fans both in awe and shock last night. Surprisingly, she was spotted in the Stamford Bridge stands alongside Todd Boehly, watching Enzo Maresca’s side secure a crucial three points.
The English tactician rather failed to see her former side secure a crucial win as well as a place in the semifinals of the FA Women’s Cup.
