• Chelsea's WSL title race took a turn in their favor after Man City's defeat by Arsenal.
• The team secured a crushing 80 win over Bristol City, putting them ahead on goal difference.
• 'I'm sure there'll be another twist but what I know is my team will not give up,' says Hayes.

After Emma Hayes' emotional farewell at Kingsmeadow, she refocused on the WSL title race. Despite losing ground with a defeat at Liverpool, Chelsea received a boost when leaders Manchester City were defeated by Arsenal.

The Blues capitalized on this opportunity with an impressive victory over Bristol City in Hayes's final home game. This result gave them a marginally better goal difference than Man City and the chance to draw level on points before the season finale.

Hayes expressed her delight in her players for taking advantage of their rivals' slipups and delivering such a resounding performance. She praised their belief, determination, and nevergiveup attitude throughout the match.

Despite facing tough opponents like Tottenham and Manchester United in upcoming fixtures, Hayes remains optimistic about their chances but acknowledges the challenges ahead. The gap between fixtures allows for rest before crucial matches that could determine the outcome of the season.
