Lauren James stunner helps Chelsea to crucial WSL win over Tottenham after Man Utd slip up

Chelsea secured a crucial 3-2 win over London rivals Tottenham on Sunday afternoon and returned to the top of the Women's Super League table.

Jess Carter opened the scoring inside the opening 10 minutes before former Blue, Bethany England, levelled the scoreline for the hosts. However, a sensational solo effort from Lauren James restored the lead for Emma Hayes' side before the break.

Guro Reiten then made it three shortly into the second half, but it looked like a comeback could be on for the hosts as Nikola Karczewska pulled one back with minutes left on the clock. It was too little too late, however, as Chelsea held on to claim all three points.
