In-form James nets stunning double as Chelsea beat Brighton

0

Lauren James added more stunning goals to her highlights reel, scoring twice as Chelsea beat Brighton 3-0 to go six points clear at the top of the WSL.

The England forward, who was lauded by her manager Emma Hayes last weekend for her ability to shoot with both feet, did just that with two wonderful efforts.

The epitome of cool, James' first goal 58 seconds after the break was a thunderous first-touch hit with her left foot that arrowed past Sophie Baggaley. The second (59) was similarly vicious, netted with her right after she was left inexplicably unmarked in the area

It was sandwiched either side of a Fran Kirby header (51), while British record signing and January arrival Mayra Ramirez made her Chelsea debut midway through the second half.

It was arguably a harsh scoreline on the Seagulls, who tested and pressed Chelsea for much of the game, but could not find an answer for Chelsea's kick up in gears early in the second half.
