Aggie Beever-Jones Leads Chelsea Women to Fifth Straight WSL Victory with 5-0 Win over Everton Women

The visitors took control of the game with early goals from Aggie Beever-Jones in the 14th minute, Erin Cuthbert in the 43rd minute, and Guro Reiten in injury time before the break.

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.

The defending WSL champions set the tone from kick-off with Beever-Jones drawing a save from Courtney Brosnan after just 37 seconds.

The forward then broke the deadlock and the chances continued to flow with Kadeisha Buchanan, Erin Cuthbert and Guro Reiten all narrowly being denied.

Cuthbert made certain of her second chance two minutes before half-time, steering the ball into the bottom corner after dispossessing Everton defender Veatriki Sarri.

The defending champions went into the interval with a three-goal lead after Reiten stretched to turn in at the back post in added time.

The visitors continued to probe after the restart for further goals and eventually got them late in the second period after twice hitting the woodwork.

Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Sandy Baltimore were both denied by the goal frame before the floodgates opened once again.

Substitute Kaptein cracked in the fourth with eight minutes left and Ashley Lawrence had a simple tap-in barely 60 seconds later to wrap up another satisying night for Bompastor.
