Sonia Bompastor expressed her delight following her team's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace, particularly highlighting the contributions of substitutes. Melvine Malard scored two goals, including a spectacular long-range effort, while Sandy Baltimore converted a late penalty after coming on at halftime. Bompastor praised Baltimore's performance, noting it was the best response she could give despite limited recent playing time. She emphasized Baltimore's quality in crosses and one-on-one situations, which significantly aided the team against Crystal Palace's low block defense. Bompastor also lauded Malard's unexpected long-range strike, calling it a "banger" and acknowledging its importance for the player's confidence, especially after missing an easier chance earlier. The win saw Bompastor's side, referred to as "the Blues," come from behind to secure the three points.
