WSL: Chelsea thrash Man Utd as Olid's tough start continues

Chelsea win 5-0 at Man Utd as the Blues record their first win of the Women's Super League season; goals from Sjoeke Nusken, Keira Walsh, Lauren James, Ellie Carpenter and Lucy Bronze saw new United boss Eva Olid lose her first home game in charge of the club

Sky Sports' round-up of Sunday's action across the Women's Super League as Chelsea recorded their first win of the season after thrashing Man Utd 5-0 at the Leigh Sports Village.

Both teams failed to win on the opening weekend of the new campaign, but it was the visitors who dominated proceedings from start to finish in what was a chastening first home game in charge for new United boss Eva Olid.

Chelsea were already in cruise control at half-time after well-taken goals from Sjoeke Nusken and the impressive Keira Walsh, who found the net with a sweetly-struck drive from the edge of the area.

And the visitors continued to dominate in the second period as further goals followed from player-of-the-match Lauren James [61], Ellie Carpenter [65] and - with the last kick of the game - Lucy Bronze.

United's wait for their first league victory of the season goes on ahead of a testing trip to Arsenal on Saturday.
