Guro Reiten is pure magic

In a match where there could have been three or four players of the match, the Norwegian midfielder put together an outing that stuck out from the rest of the pack. Kerr and Harder may have had the finishing touch to place the ball into the back of the net, but Reiten’s delivery with her left foot put the ball on a platter, making it almost impossible for the forward to miss the target.

There were both team goals and gritty ones, in the center of all of it was Reiten who continued to build off a career year last season. Reiten created an astounding 13 chances in just 73 minutes, more than the rest of the Chelsea team combined who mustered up 11 through 90 minutes. In total, Reiten has accumulated a jaw-dropping six assists in seven games in all competitions, three less than the team leader, Kirby the entire previous campaign.

With distributors like Sophie Ingle in the middle of the pitch to find Reiten, the Blues had a dream combination that resulted in two career nights for Kerr and Harder. The Norwegian is one of six players that has started in six matches this season and has completed 17 more live-ball passes that led to a shot attempt than any other CFC player so far this season. Her vision and creativity with her left foot are second to none as Reiten begins to make her case for the Player of the Season.
