'If we want to look professional' - Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor questions absence of goal-line technology in women's game after Hannah Hampton is left mystified by decision over Tottenham equaliser in WSL

<p>Maika Hamano's opener was cancelled out by <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-horror-hannah-hampton-chelsea-goalkeeper-stunned-referee-decision-tottenham-equalise-wsl/blt1e83f04993affce4#cs978a781f5bf671ea" target="_blank">Amanda Nilden's controversial equaliser</a> in the 21st minute. Nilden's cross into the box caught out Chelsea goalkeeper Hannah Hampton as the England international tried to palm the ball to safety but it was adjudged to have gone over the line and the goal stood. The entire squad, including the custodian, vehemently protested but with no VAR in the Women's Super League, the goal could not be overturned.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While the reigning Women's Super League champions eventually <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/chelsea-women-player-ratings-tottenham-lauren-james-wsl-hannah-hampton-controversial-spurs/blt790a9e65a7b13190" target="_blank">clinched the game 5-2</a>, Blues boss Bompastor raised questions on the absence of goal-line technology in women's football even after 10 years of it being introduced in the men's game. </p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to <a href="https://x.com/SkySportsWSL/status/1848095620231307623" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>, the head coach said, "I just think in this type of situation we just need to help the referees. From where I was watching the game it's difficult to say if the ball was in or out. I just feel like if the technology is in for the men's game why don't we have the same? I think it will help the referees and for the assistant referee, I think that's a hard call to make. If you're unsure it's really difficult but that's the way it is. The referee makes some decisions, and we have to accept that."</p><p>She added, "If the technology is here we should use it. It's about having a budget - it costs money. If we want to look professional we just have to have the same thing as the men's game."</p>
