Chelsea delivered a commanding performance in the Women's Super League, scoring five goals against a Manchester United side described as lacklustre. This victory follows Chelsea's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on the opening weekend.
Goals for Chelsea came from Sjoeke Nüsken, Keira Walsh, Lauren James, Ellie Carpenter, and Lucy Bronze. James, operating in a free-to-roam role, was a central figure in Chelsea's fluid attacking strategy.
Manchester United, who previously lost 2-1 to London City Lionesses, struggled to create chances throughout the match. Their bench was reportedly light following a summer transfer window that drew criticism.
United's next fixture is an away trip to face Arsenal at the Emirates.
