James broke the deadlock after eleven minutes but Liverpool came back and equalized thanks to an own goal.
After that, the fun was over for the guests.
In the second half, Chelsea – and James – switched gears, going from 2–1 to 5–1.
Swedish national team stars Zecira Musovic and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd were involved in the run-over. The former started in goal and made a sweaty save in the second half. Rytting Kaneryd jumped in in the 63rd minute and managed to score two assists.
With the victory, Chelsea moves to the top of the Super League. After seven games, Emma Hayes’ side have 19 points, six down on Arsenal, who have a game less played.
