HT: Everton 0-3 Chelsea
Lindsay Johnson
Ex-England defender on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra
It is still early in the season but Everton have really got to think about goal difference. They look like they will be in a relegation battle with the likes of Crystal Palace and West Ham so they need to think about being resolute at the back. Although that is easier said than done against a team like Chelsea.
Oh, and I'm eight points better off in Fantasy Football. Still 13 points behind my league's leader though.

And that top stat brings half-time.
Chelsea have been amazing. Everton have been poor.

Chelsea have already attempted 17 shots in this match, higher than their season average of 16.7 in the WSL.

In all the madness, I forgot to tell you it's three minutes added on.

Great finish from Guro Reiten, she was losing her balance and slipped as she slid for it, but still managed to get her laces on it and put it into the net. Courtney Brosnan may be a little disappointed that she was beaten at her near post, but it was Guro Reiten unmarked in the box, again.

Really smooth bit of play from Chelsea.
This is so quick from Sjoeke Nusken, the turn and cross.
It's a brilliant finish from Guro Reiten who was on the floor.

Guro Reiten finally gets her goal. Sliding in at the back post to meet a Sjoeke Nusken cross.
Courtney Brosnan gets a boot to is but can't keep out the shot.

We have talked about it, Everton overplaying and dwelling on the ball. Chelsea are so good at that high press and it is Erin Cuthbert that pickpocketed Veatriki Sarri it and drives into the box, slotting the ball into the bottom corner. Really good finish.

Almost 3-0.
Chelsea whip in another great cross but Guro Reiten heads just wide.

This comes from Everton playing out from the back, just slow.
Erin Cuthbert reads it, stays on her feet and provides that left-footed finish which is tidy into the corner past Courtney Brosnan.
Erin Cuthbert (43 mins)

Veatriki Sarri dawdles on the ball outside her own area, Erin Cuthbert picks her pocket, and then the Scot drives at goal and expertly finishes into the bottom corner.
Boom.

Guro Reiten, boots perfectly tied, latches on to a ball over the top, but her finish can only ripple the side-netting.

I take it all back!
Guro Reiten can't tie her own shoelaces?!?!
Her boots are undone and she's called over Millie Bright to do them up for her.
Scenes.

When Guro Reiten leaves Chelsea we'll be calling her one of the best to have ever played in England.
She's just everywhere all of the time.
On this occasion she's the sole player in a high press but somehow still ends up winning the ball back for her side.

Again Guro Reiten with all that space in the box and no one was picking her up. You have to pick these players up.
Everton 0-1 Chelsea
Only a matter of time before Chelsea score a second. Guro Reiten's shot from close range is blocked by Issy Hobson.

Everton are really brave. They win the ball back in their own box and are adamant that they are going to play out. However when the ball doesn't stick then you are back under pressure again. That is the risk versus reward of playing out from the back.
Everton 0-1 Chelsea
Off the line!
The corner is headed away by the first defender but only as far Erin Cuthbert who hammers a low shot towards the back post where Justine Vanhaevermaet is standing and the Belgian is able to clear.

They'll send in another cross shortly as Johanna Rytting Kaneryd wins them a corner.
