James and Carpenter lead Chelsea surge as sorry Spurs hit for six in WSL again
Story updated
The story in brief
31-second readTwo goals each from a rampant Lauren James and battling Ellie Carpenter helped Chelsea cruise past Tottenham and keep the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the Women’s Super League table.
It was a thrilling show and a statement from the home team, a game laden with stunning goals after a frustrating first half that allowed Tottenham more of the ball than Chelsea would have been happy with.
James’s first was cancelled out by Matilda Vinberg’s first-half equaliser, before Carpenter restored Chelsea’s lead and James added her second. Sjoeke Nüsken and Maika Hamano powered in the fourth and fifth before Signe Gaupset pulled one back and Carpenter converted for the second time.
