A hat-trick from the exceptional Lauren James and strikes from Aggie Beever-Jones and Sjoeke Nüsken saw Emma Hayes’ team seal their sixth win of the season. Jess Carter’s own goal was the sole blemish of the afternoon in front of a delighted Stamford Bridge crowd.
Chelsea returned to home comforts after their 2-2 draw against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Blues have enjoyed a brilliant start to their league campaign, coming in unbeaten and three points clear at the top.
