Beth England’s 50th Women’s Super League goal helped Chelsea to a 2-0 win over West Ham.
The substitute and Erin Cuthbert scored to earn Emma Hayes’ side a comfortable victory that moved them up to second and above Manchester United, a point behind leaders Arsenal.
Chelsea dominated the first half, with Pernille Harder’s header well saved by Anna Leat and Sophie Ingle’s cross coming back off the top of the crossbar.
Despite the hosts being in control they failed to find a first-half breakthrough, but England came on at the break and made an impact just six minutes later.
Cuthbert cut in from the right and, when her shot was saved by Leat, England fired in the opener from close range.
Cuthbert wrapped up the points with eight minutes left when she collected a pass from Fran Kirby, held off the challenge of Zaneta Wyne and found the net.
