James's hat-trick sees Chelsea defeat Manchester United

LAUREN JAMES hit a hat-trick as Chelsea beat Manchester United 3-1 at Stamford Bridge today to regain their three-point advantage at the top of the Women’s Super League.

Emma Hayes’s reigning champions took the lead in the fifth minute when James fired past England team-mate Mary Earps.

Nathalie Bjorn, making her first league start for Chelsea since signing from Everton this month, delivered a perfect ball over the top for James to double the hosts’ advantage with a neat low finish in the 23rd minute.
