A first Blues hat-trick from Lauren James led the way as Chelsea Women comfortably saw off Liverpool with a 5-1 WSL victory at Stamford Bridge. Aggie Beever-Jones and Sjoeke Nusken were also on target in the convincing win, with Liverpool's reply coming from an own goal from Jess Carter at Stamford Bridge.

Lauren James got the Blues off to a flying start with a sweeping left-footed finish, but Liverpool replied instantly via an unfortunate own goal from Jess Carter. James then turned provider for Aggie Beever-Jones to restore our lead with her fourth consecutive WSL goal to give us a slender lead at the break.
