Match Reports DUNIA THE DESTROYER DELIVERS IN SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY Birmingham City Ladies 1 Chelsea Ladies 4 FA Women's Premier League National Division - Thursday 8th April By Glenn Lawrence Chelsea Ladies condemned Birmingham City Ladies to their eleventh defeat of the season at Knights Lane as Dunia Susi netted a hat-trick in the 4-1 rout. Blues goalkeeper Sue Wood was forced to push Susi's shot over the crossbar before Jane's cross who side-footed wide by the incoming Kempson from 8 yards out. Only a flying back peddling acrobatic save from Emily Morphittis denied Isoble Christensen, who's 22 yard effort was superbly turned around the near upright single handily by the Chelsea goalkeeper from the result Danni Bird corner of the right the advancing Morphittis punched clear at the near post on the edge of the six yard area the ball going to Christenseen whose 15 yard looping header was seemingly touched onto the crossbar by the keeper before Parry on the goal-line hooked the ball clear before Howell could get a clean strike on the ball. Champ should have put the visitors ahead on 20 minutes when the Blues defence failed to clear a touch-line free-kick from the left which Stoney head on at the near post but somehow Champ blazed the ball over when well placed in-front of goal from 6 yards out. Two quick-fire Susi goals had the visitors in control at the turn-around-point as the England International fired Chelsea ahead on 22 minutes, this after Kempton's cross from the left had been spilled by Wood in the home goal leaving Susi to hit home from 4 yards out and just four minutes later the lively Susi doubled the visitors lead as she bust clear, beating advancing goalkeeper Wood on the edge of the 18 yard box to roll the ball home from 15 yards out. Chelsea's Leanne Champ was fortunate to stay on the pitch after a crunching tackle from behind on 33 minutes left the returning Maimee Morris, who's come-back only lasted thirty minutes horizontal and in agony in the middle of the park, Morris being carried off and ending the night on crutches before being taken to hospital while Champ was very lucky only to get a yellow card, Minutes later Referee Garrett was again reaching for her notebook as Birmingham's goalkeeper Wood hauled down Susi, who had burst clear on the edge of the penalty area. However, Chelsea failed to capitalise from a well placed Susi free-kick which was curled around the Birmingham wall and safely held on the ground by Wood. In the second half. Only a fine save from Wood at the near post denied Susi before Danni Bird swooped to give Birmingham hope on 64 minutes hitting home from 18 yards out. But, with Birmingham pressing for an equaliser Substitute Drew Spence sealed victory on 86 minutes following Kempson's corner from the right with a downward header at the near post from 6 yards out, the ball bouncing in at the near post beyond a helpless Blues defenc. The unstoppable Dunia Susi tucked home a 90th-minute penalty, this after Jemma Rose had been penalised for a foul on Susi, Referee Garrett pointing to the spot, after the Penalty had been awarded by her assistant on the right touch-line, Susi making no mistake with a well driven spot-kick which gave Chelsea a 4-1 victory, In the end the London visitors could have left Shakespeare Country with a bigger winning goal-margin had it not been for a string of fine saves from Susan Wood in the home-goal the visitors creating plenty to keep the home defence busy throughout the 90 minutes as Birmingham paid the price for falling to closedown a lively Chelsea team and in-particular live-wire Susi. Birmingham had their chances, although reserve goalkeeper Emily Morphitis was rarely tested to any real extent after the opening ten minutes, Morphitis pulling after a fine acrobatic save at the near upright to deny the home-side before Chelsea defender Sophie Perry cleared Howell's shot in the early stages of the game. The two teams meet again in seven-day's time with City Ladies also having to undertake testing away trips to Everton and Arsenal Ladies in their end of season run-in Birmingham Manager Stuart Wilson describing his sides' performance in the 4-0 defeat against Leeds Carnegie recently as "Heartless and Lacking Passion" but Confidence, Belief and Passion from a side that has greatly under-achieved this season is in short supply with only Danni Bird bagging more than a hand-full of goals this season as she increased her tally to 9 league goals and on reflexion supporters may just be left to ponder where apart from the boot of Danni Bird goals of going to come from ? Little was created in the way of notable worthy goal-bound efforts, especially in the second half to trouble a classy, confident Chelsea side who sealed a comprehensive win, another damage limitation exercise will beckon next Thursday night for Wilson's side. An over changing forward-line and inconsistency has done nothing to overturn a goal draught Five change from the side, thAT suffered a 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Leeds and Player available for the end of season midweek run-in will give Wilson another selection headache along with the serious injury suffered by Morris, which will also be a major concern as their survival bid continues, a bottom-three-finish is the best Blues can hope for. However, with Six Pointers against fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers still to come at Knights Lane anything less than maximum points and Birmingham could well finish second-from-bottom with only wooden spoon side Bristol Academy below them, .Why Stuart Wilson has not acted long before now to sure up his strike force will probably remain a mystery that's perhaps a bit harsh on the young up-front reserves who have been thrust into the limelight without delivering the cutting edge needed in-front of goal but its goals that win matches and a season that promised so much continued to steady spiral downhill the lost and use of too many players and injuries to key figures continues to dictate Blues fortunes this season. An enjoyable and entertaining game in-which Chelsea created some neat free-flowing football but the Londoners should have killed this game off long before the final 5 minutes. As Previously stated above, Birmingham City's Maimee Morris suffered a serious Leg/Ankle Injury during this course of this game, We wish her well for a speedy recovery and let's hope the news is not too bad and its not too long before she is back up and running playing football once again.
