Chelsea continued their impressive form in the Women's Super League by defeating Everton 5-0 at Goodison Park. The match began with Chelsea taking the lead in the 14th minute. Kadeisha Buchanan's cross was met by Agnes Beever-Jones, who headed past Courtney Brosnan. This early goal set the tone for a dominant performance by the visitors.

Before halftime, Chelsea extended their lead with two more goals. Erin Cuthbert capitalised on a mistake by Veatriki Sarri, stealing possession and scoring with her left foot into the bottom corner. Shortly after, Guro Reiten added another goal, finding the net at Brosnan's near post following a precise pass from Sjoeke Nusken.

In the second half, Chelsea maintained control but had to wait until late in the game to increase their lead further. Wieke Kaptein scored in the 82nd minute with a powerful shot into the top of the net. Just over a minute later, Ashley Lawrence completed a well-executed team move by tapping in Oriane Jean-Francois' cross, securing another victory for Sonia Bompastor's side.

This victory marked manager Sonia Bompastor's fifth consecutive win in her first five games in charge of Chelsea in the WSL. She joins David Parker and Jonas Eidevall as managers achieving this feat. The match was one of her most commanding performances yet, with Chelsea registering 26 shots compared to Everton's six.

The Blues' expected goals (xG) total stood at an impressive 3.16, while Everton managed only 0.37. This win also equalled Chelsea's longest winning streak against a single team in the WSL. Their triumph over Everton marked their tenth consecutive victory against them, matching their current runs against Tottenham and West Ham.

Chelsea's relentless pursuit of success continues to yield results as they maintain their perfect start to the season. With such dominant displays, they are setting high standards for themselves and their opponents alike.
