Chelsea revived their Women's Super League title defense with a powerful 5-0 win over West Ham. The dominant performance featured two goals from Sandy Baltimore and one each from Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson.
The match was a disastrous start for new West Ham manager Rita Guarino. Her team conceded four goals in the first half due to defensive mistakes and poor ball control.
The heavy loss leaves West Ham in a difficult position. They remain near the bottom of the league table in a close fight with Liverpool to avoid relegation.
