SONIA BOMPASTOR called for the introduction of goal-line technology for the Women’s Super League after a contentious goal was given against her Chelsea side in their 5-2 win over Tottenham on Sunday.
Chelsea led 1-0 when goalkeeper Hannah Hampton dropped a cross from Spurs’ Amanda Nilden with the referee’s assistant judging the ball had fallen behind the line, though video replays failed to confirm it.
A furious Hampton was booked for protesting against the decision before the champions went on to assert their dominance with a ruthless attacking display.
