Leicester City know the wrath of Chelsea better than most, but with four goals gone before the first-half, another high-score hammering felt imminent for the Foxes.
A stormy Kingsmeadow certainly brayed for it, as Guro Reiten opened the scoring in the eighth minute, before Erin Cuthbert doubled the advantage 10 minutes later and Pernille Harder, starting her first match since November, grabbed a brace to bury the Foxes at 4-0 at the interval.
A sublime finish from Lauren James in a scintillating solo move shortly after the restart grabbed Chelsea what looked to be their lone goal of the second-half before Jelena Čanković's scorching effort deep in injury time whipped through the rain and through keeper Janina Leitzig's outstretched hands.
