"Chelsea secured a statement 5-0 victory against struggling West Ham to breathe life back into their Women's Super League title defence. Sandy Baltimore scored a brace while Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson also got on the scoresheet at Kingsmeadow in an impressive demolition of their struggling London rivals. Rita Guarino endured a nightmare start to her West Ham tenure as her side conceded four first-half goals to put them firmly on the back foot on in an already difficult encounter."
"A combination of defensive errors, lacklustre pressing and careless in-possession work all contributed and left West Ham's new head coach with more questions than answers as the Hammers remain locked firmly in a battle with Liverpool at the bottom. Guarino arrived in east London in December, following the dismissal of Rehanne Skinner with West Ham sitting second from bottom with just one win under their belt."
Chelsea produced a 5-0 win over West Ham, with Sandy Baltimore netting a brace and Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson also scoring. West Ham conceded four first-half goals and displayed defensive errors, poor pressing and careless possession. Rita Guarino began her West Ham tenure with a difficult outing after arriving in December to replace Rehanne Skinner. The club sits second from bottom with only one win, prompting the Board to state a change was necessary to improve league position. Guarino is respected for her Juventus success but faces a clear challenge to restore confidence and results.
