Three first-half goals helped Chelsea on their way to a 4-0 victory over ten-player West Ham United women’s team at Chigwell Construction Stadium in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday.
Strikes from Aggie Beever-Jones, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Erin Cuthbert put Sonia Bompastor’s side in the ascendancy inside 15 minutes, before Inès Belloumou was shown a straight red card for a foul on Alyssa Thompson.
The heads of Rehanne Skinner’s side didn’t drop, though, as they worked tirelessly with a player less in east London, and crafted good opportunities for Katrina Gorry, Amber Tysiak, Viviane Asseyi and Ffion Morgan in a resilient second-half display.
Unfortunately for the Hammers, Wieke Kaptein added a fourth with 20 minutes left to play as the east Londoners fell to defeat.
