Chelsea put their midweek frustrations in Europe to one side with a comfortable victory over Liverpool in the WSL. A hat-trick from the exceptional Lauren James and strikes from Aggie Beever-Jones and Sjoeke Nüsken gave them their sixth win of the season. Jess Carter’s own goal the sole blemish in front of a delighted Stamford Bridge crowd.
Chelsea returned to home comforts after a run of three games on the road and a 2-2 draw against Real Madrid on Wednesday. Emma Hayes was, therefore, delighted with her side’s performance while underlining the need for more care to be taken over player welfare.
