Chelsea Women manager Sonia Bompastor is adamant the club are still backing her in the wake of their heavy 5-1 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

The loss left the reigning WSL champions 12 points off top spot with eight games to play, putting them at risk of missing out on the title for the first time since the 2018/19 season.

Bompastor was brought in to replace Emma Hayes after her trophy-laden spell at the club came to an end when she moved on to become the head coach of the United States Women's National Team, but the former Lyon boss is under increasing scrutiny with her side third in the table behind both City and Manchester United.

After the game, Bompastor admitted that if the club's hierarchy did not feel she was the right person for the job, she would go. Now, she has reiterated that the powers that be are behind her and she does not feel under any pressure.
