'Nobody is teaching her that!' - Chelsea boss Emma Hayes raves about Lauren James after Lionesses star scores twice against Brighton

After scoring a hat-trick against Manchester United last Sunday, Lauren James netted twice on Saturday as Chelsea picked up their 10th win of the ongoing Women's Super League season over Brighton. James' performance left manager Emma Hayes mesmerised as she hailed the Lionesses star after yet another stellar show on the pitch.

Speaking to reporters after the match, Hayes said, "Certainly nobody is teaching her that. Lauren’s mum and dad made Lauren James. What she has, not one of us can teach her that gift. She’s decisive and proved that again today in the right moment, at the right time."

With the brace against The Seagulls, James increased her goal tally for the season to 12 in 11 WSL appearances. The result also helped the Blues to increase their lead at the top of the table to six points, although they have played a game more than second-placed Manchester City.

James and Co. will next take on Paris FC in their final group game of the Women's Champions League on Tuesday.
