Chelsea Women made it five wins from their opening five WSL games for the first time in their history after an impressive 5-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park.
First-half goals from Aggie Beever-Jones (14), Erin Cuthbert (43) and Guro Reiten (45+1) put the visitors in a commanding position.
Everton improved after the break and had their best chance when substitute Emma Bissell fired off target. Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor looked to her bench and brought on Wieke Kaptein, and it was her emphatic finish which ended any hope of a dramatic turnaround (82).
Not satisfied with a fourth, Chelsea added another just a minute later when Ashley Lawrence met Eve Perisset’s low cross to compound Everton’s woes as their search for a first WSL win of the season goes on.
The result means Chelsea retain their 100 per cent record and sit in second place with a game in hand over leaders Manchester City, who are just a point above them. Meanwhile, Everton are rooted to the foot of the table on two points from six matches, slipping beneath West Ham on goal difference.
