Leah Williamson in particular hasn't looked herself. She was the one complaining about the second goal being offside. I don't know if that's got into her mind a little bit. The third goal with the misplaced pass across the pitch was very unlike her. She is probably desperate for half-time to come, change those socks and get herself in a fresh mindset.
Chelsea 3-0 Arsenal
Lauren James is enjoying so much freedom tonight.
She skips past Arsenal's defenders out wide and only a last-ditch tackle from Lia Walti is able to dispossess the Chelsea forward.

Katie: Arsenal look like they’ve never played together before. They’re terrified to approach Chelsea, and are handing this to them on a plate.
Claire: From the kit to every kick, this has been embarrassing from Arsenal tonight.
Chelsea 3-0 Arsenal
Will Arsenal prevent Chelsea further extending the deficit?
Lauren James slots in Niamh Charles down the left-hand side, she plays the ball back to James.
She knocks it across to Melanie Leupolz but her shot from distance takes a deflection and goes behind for a corner.
Chelsea 3-0 Arsenal
Oooh.
Caitlin Foord looks like she's in for Arsenal, receiving a Stina Blackstenius pass and taking it past her marker with a decent first touch, but Hannah Hampton does well to dive at her feet.
Chelsea 3-0 Arsenal
That is audacious.
Lauren James looks to inflict more pain for Arsenal as she sizes up a strike from long range.
It misses the target, but only narrowly, skimming the roof of the net.

She's almost embarrassed to claim that one. Who'd have thought Nusken would be on for a hat-trick 30 minutes into the game? It's a deadly counter attack from Chelsea. They are really capitalising on every mistake Arsenal make.
Sjoeke Nusken (32 mins)
Arsenal caught out again!
Leah Williamson completely messes up a diagonal free-kick, it's picked up by Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Arsenal are wide open at the back.
Rytting Kaneryd looks set to score after charging through the visitors' defence - instead, it's another late touch by Sjoeke Nusken to take it past Manuela Zinsberger.
Rytting Kaneryd's strike deflects off of Nusken and Chelsea have three. Total control.
Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
It just isn't working in the final third for Arsenal.
Beth Mead does well to get in down the right-hand side, but Niamh Charles tracks her run and forces her to put the ball behind for a goal-kick.
Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
Arsenal can't find the end product to threaten Chelsea.
Katie McCabe sends a tempting delivery into the hosts' box, but it's out of Steph Catley's reach.
Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
That free-kick was in a good position, but Hannah Hampton will be happy to have not been forced to do any work.
Beth Mead blasts it a long way over the crossbar.
Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
Arsenal try and exploit the wings to get behind Chelsea, Caitlin Foord playing a triangle with Steph Catley, but Catley's cross is cleared by the hosts' defence.
The Gunners collect the ball on the edge of the box and earn a free-kick in a dangerous area, though, after an Erin Cuthbert foul.

That's another kick for Arsenal. They looked like they had it under control. Nusken is on her toes and just deflects it past Zinsberger. It was really close as to if it was offside or not but I think it is a really good decision from the assistant referee. Disappointing from Leah Williamson and a player of her calibre.
Sjoeke Nusken (21 mins)
They have another!
Chelsea are so quick when they attack. Lauren James runs forward, the ball is played out wide, crossed in, and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd collects.
She tees up Erin Cuthbert for an effort from the edge of the box, but Cuthbert's strike isn't headed towards the target.
It doesn't matter, though, as Sjoeke Nusken redirect it, poking past Manuela Zinsberger.
It's a long way back for Arsenal now.
Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal
Arsenal would fall even further behind in the title race if things remain as they are.
They would trail WSL leaders Chelsea by six points with just six games remaining.
The Gunners tried to find an immediate response, charging down the wing to try and get behind the hosts' defence, but they were well-tracked and Chelsea are now holding on to the ball.
Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal
Lauren James has now scored 13 goals and registered one assist in 14 Women's Super League games this season.
Chelsea 1-0 Arsenal

Arsenal had started to dominate the ball but it goes to show when Chelsea go they go with purpose, they go with intent. It was a lovely pass to Lauren James. She's got a lot of work to do. Zinsberger looks like she's made a really good save but in the end it just loops over and into the back of the net.
Lauren James (15 mins)
Chelsea lead!
That is a wonderful bit of individual skill from Lauren James to set herself up, receiving a Sjoeke Nusken pass before turning past her defender and firing a shot at Manuela Zinsberger.
Zinsberger will not want to see that again. She gets a hand to it, but her save goes into the air, loops over her head and falls into the goal.
Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal
Arsenal have the ball at the back and they take the opportunity to slow the game down for the first time this evening.
It's been played at such a high intensity so far. Will that resume soon?
