Lauren James shows Chelsea men's how it's done! Lionesses star sets Stamford Bridge seasonal scoring record with first-half WSL brace against Man Utd

<p>The England international is a key part of Emma Hayes’ plans in west London and can always be relied upon to raise her game for the big occasion. She has certainly been doing that when the Blues take in a change of scenery this season.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Chelsea Women, as the reigning WSL champions and current league leaders, are able to attract big crowds to Stamford Bridge. With that in mind, crunch clashes in domestic and continental competition take place in a 40,000-capacity Premier League venue.</p><p></p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Proper Chels. 😘<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CFCW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#CFCW</a> <a href="https://t.co/vvfNDAVVnn">pic.twitter.com/vvfNDAVVnn</a></p>— Chelsea FC Women (@ChelseaFCW) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChelseaFCW/status/1749048696027644303?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 21, 2024</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>James has starred in said contests, finding the target in meetings with Tottenham, Liverpool, Paris FC and Hacken. She was also among the goals in a WSL clash with former club Manchester United – taking her to six in five games.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Nobody in Chelsea’s men’s team can claim to have matched that return, despite playing every home Premier League, Carabao Cup and FA Cup fixture at Stamford Bridge – with Raheem Sterling topping the charts for Mauricio Pochettino’s side in that department with five efforts to his name.</p>
