Emma Hayes’s Chelsea finished 2023 on a high with a professional victory against a stubborn BK Häcken that showed all of their experience. Goals from Sam Kerr and two from Erin Cuthbert took them top of Group D in the Champions League.
This trip to Gothenburg was one final hurdle for Chelsea to overcome before the winter break. They had endured a frustrating evening against the same opposition last week, dominating but lacking execution in a goalless draw at Stamford Bridge. It was an encounter that would have made Hayes’s side wary of complacency. The Swedish team have enjoyed an impressive campaign and came in sitting two points above their opponents.
