The Blues started the day in second place and one point behind City who occupied the top spot. But quickfire goals from Mayra Ramirez and Guro Reiten late on in SW6 ensured Bompastor's side ended the weekend at the league summit.

And the victory extended our perfect start in the league, meaning Bompastor becomes the first-ever head coach to win their opening seven WSL matches. But, after the game, she wanted the attention to be directed at her players and not her achievement.

'It's not about me,' Bompastor told the media in her post-match press conference. 'It's more about the club and the players. I'm really proud of my players. I think they had a great performance.

'It was the same when I was a player - I didn't reflect on the past. At the moment, I just want to enjoy day by day and take game by game. Even if it's a really good start and it brings us a lot of confidence, the reality is we haven't won anything yet.

'We want to enjoy it and this is what I told my players before the game. Maybe we have the best job in the world being players and a manager, so tonight was an opportunity for us to put our hearts on the pitch and enjoy it because we are playing at home at Stamford Bridge, with fans coming and against a really good team.

'I just want to enjoy the win, the three points and we continue our run.'

Bompastor added: 'When you are on the touchline, you just have a lot of emotions. Sometimes frustrations, sometimes happiness.

'When I just saw these two great goals, I really enjoyed it because I know much it's difficult to score, especially a really good Man City team.

'I just wanted to enjoy it because you don't get much opportunities to have these great environments playing against Man City - one of the best teams in Europe, getting a good result and a clean sheet. Everything is almost perfect. If you don't enjoy it now, you will never enjoy it.'

Now sitting top of the table and with a chance to extend our advantage to five points when we play our game in hand against Manchester United at Kingsmeadow next week, Bompastor was asked by the journalists if her side are the team to beat in the WSL.

'Maybe at the moment, the opposition can think that,' Bompastor explained. 'Especially because we've had seven wins in a row in the league, but that's our standard.

'Joining Chelsea, I was and I am really aligned with the vision and the ambitions. We are the holders in this competition in the league and we just need to keep these standards.

'If everyone thinks we are the team to beat then that's fine for us. As a manager, I love to embrace the pressure. That's the job. For my players, having this feeling as being the team to beat, I think that's a really good feeling.'

Against City, Maika Hamano was deployed as a number 10 and Bompastor hailed the Japanese international's impact after an impressive performance where she also bagged the assist for Ramirez's opening goal.

'Maika is performing,' Bompastor said. 'It's that simple. She did well tonight, of course, but also she was doing good in the last performances of the team.

'She's a young player and she still has a lot of room for improvement, but she's someone who understands what we expect from her on the pitch out of possession, but also with the ball.'
