Emma Hayes explains where Lauren James must improve after stunning Chelsea goal

Chelsea manager Emma Hayes claimed Lauren James still has plenty to work on after the Blues secured a 3-2 win against Tottenham.

The Blues moved back to the top of the Women's Super League after edging out Spurs in a cracking London derby, with James scoring the pick of the goals in the first half. The England forward drove through the heart of the hosts' defence to score a superb solo goal, restoring Chelsea's first-half lead after Beth England equalised against her former club.

James was awarded the Barclays Player of the Match award for her energetic, all-action display. However, it still left her manager wanting more. Hayes, who has regularly rotated James in and out of the starting XI in recent months, said post-match there is still plenty the 21-year-old needs to work on.
