Everton Women 0-5 Chelsea Women: Aggie Beever-Jones sets champions on course for fifth consecutive WSL win | Football news

Chelsea Women have made it five wins from their opening five WSL matches 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 dominant position.

Everton improved after the break and had their best chance when substitute Emma Bissell shot wide. Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor turned to her bench and brought on Wieke Kaptein, and it was her emphatic strike that ended any hope of a spectacular turnaround (82nd).

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 they search for a first WSL win of the season continues.

The result means Chelsea maintain their 100 percent record and sit in second place with a game in hand over leaders Manchester City, who are just one point above them. Meanwhile, Everton are stuck at the foot of the table with two points from six matches, slipping below West Ham on goal difference.
