After holding firm against the home side’s pressure in the opening stages of the match, the Blues scored either side of half-time to seal victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And after losing back-to-back Women's Super League games against Arsenal and Manchester City, the experienced midfielder was delighted to have reversed our recent fortunes.

‘To be honest, it’s a relief,’ Cuthbert said after our win. ‘It's been a tough couple of weeks and something that maybe a lot of us haven't been used to. But certainly over the nine or ten years I've been here, we've had moments like this, and it's going to be like this.

‘The league is getting better. We played against two top teams who probably beat us quite convincingly, but I think it was back to the drawing board this week, back to regrouping and showing who we are.

‘We didn't want to be a Chelsea team that just bowed down game after game. That's not what we're about, it's not what we're built upon. So, I think the performance today, with players like Sio (Sjoeke Nusken) sprinting, chasing for the ball, blocking every tackle, showed that from the very first minute we were on it.

‘It was a difficult first 20 minutes, and we could have been quite lucky, if I'm honest, but sometimes you need a bit of luck to get out of a bit of a hole.’

Having won six consecutive Women’s Super League titles with Chelsea, Cuthbert explained that she finds it difficult to get over defeats.

She says the answer lies in the team continuing to support each other and having the confidence to reproduce the quality shown in training once they step out onto the pitch in competitive matches.

‘Listen, it hurts, it really does,’ she said. ‘It hurts me deep. I haven’t been able to sleep properly. Seriously, it really affects me.

‘We have a top team in this dressing room, but sometimes we forget how to play football,’ she joked. ‘Everyone sees that. With the quality we have and what I see in training, it’s not always showing up in games.

‘It’s about trying to give everyone confidence because we all want the best for each other and we all want to succeed.’
