I’ll call it a day there. A solid Saturday night out for Chelsea, any concerns at half-time quickly wiped out by the mastery of Lauren James and an instinctive finish from Fran Kirby. Rob Smyth will be here tomorrow for more WSL coverage, with Liverpool taking on Arsenal, so don’t go too far. Thanks for reading!

Emma Hayes has her say: “I said to them at half-time, we got to show a little more urgency. It’s one thing to be in control but we had to have more intent in the final third.

“I told Ramírez when she come into the game, ‘There’s the goal, there’s the fans, welcome to Chelsea’. She’s so strong, I think she’s going to cause defences all sorts of problems in this league.”
