The poll on the Chelsea Official App proved to be one of the closest of the campaign, highlighting just how impressive Sonia Bompastor’s side were across the pitch as Sandy Baltimore’s first-half goal secured the points.

Baltimore finished second in our poll with 30 per cent of the vote, as her spectacular strike fired the Blues to the top of the table. Lucy Bronze came in third place, with 26 per cent of the vote, following another tireless display at the back.

That meant the winner of our poll, just edging out Baltimore and Bronze, was Veerle Buurman.

The young defender picked up 37 per cent of the votes cast after being introduced unexpectedly early following an injury to Kadeisha Buchanan. Buurman produced a defensive masterclass and maturity beyond her years to help us keep a potent Man City attack quiet and register a well-earned clean sheet.

Congratulations, Veerle!
