Buurman’s Stunning Late Strike Propels Chelsea Past Tottenham into Women’s FA Cup Semi-Finals
Chelsea secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the Women’s FA Cup quarter-finals, thanks to a stunning late goal from Veerle Buurman. The win keeps Chelsea’s hopes of a domestic cup double alive after exiting the Champions League, despite concerns from manager Sonia Bompastor about player fatigue.
Tottenham, despite the defeat, showed resilience and character following recent heavy league losses, with Eveliina Summanen briefly leveling after Sam Kerr’s opener, but ultimately succumbed to Buurman’s decisive strike.
