James and Carpenter lead Chelsea surge as sorry Spurs hit for six in WSL again

Two 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.
