ShareManchester United's poor start to the Women's Super League season continued as they were thumped 5-0 by Chelsea on Sunday.Chelsea earned their first win of the Women's Super League season and left Manchester United still waiting for their first point under Eva Olid, as they crushed the Red Devils 5-0 on their own turf.Sjoeke Nusken and Kiera Walsh struck in the first half at Progress with Unity Stadium as Chelsea turned in a far more clinical showing than they did in their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa last week, and Lauren James, Ellie Carpenter and Lucy Bronze added further gloss after the interval.Sonia Bompastor's Blues got on the front foot from the first whistle with James shooting wide, and their opening goal arrived in the 21st minute. Dominique Janssen misjudged Bronze's lofted ball into the box, allowing Wieke Kaptein to square for a Nusken tap-in.If Chelsea's first goal was scrappy, their second was a moment of sheer quality as Bronze found Walsh on the edge of the area, and the England midfielder took a touch before drilling a crisp shot into the bottom-left corner. James drew two good saves from Phallon Tullis-Joyce either side of half-time, and she finally got among the goals just past the hour mark, slotting into the far corner on her left foot after a defence-splitting pass from the excellent Walsh.Chelsea had a fourth goal soon afterwards. A poor United giveaway resulted in Carpenter shooting straight at Tullis-Joyce, but when the ball rebounded back to the Australia international, she powered into the open goal.Tullis-Joyce kept out a free header from Kadeisha Buchanan, though Chelsea did get a fifth goal through a fifth different scorer in stoppage time, as Bronze lashed into the roof of the net following a goalmouth scramble.More Man Utd woes against Chelsea and JamesAfter peppering the Aston Villa goal without reward on matchday one, Chelsea were at risk of failing to win their opening two games in a WSL season for only the third time, having done so in 2011 and 2018-19 – two campaigns in which they did not win the title.But Bompastor's team got off the mark for 2026-27 in fine fashion. They finished with 25 shots and 2.97 expected goals, while restricting United to two attempts and 0.2 xG.Chelsea have now won 18 of their 21 meetings with United across all competitions (D2 L1), and the Blues are the only team the Red Devils have faced in the WSL without ever winning, in 14 attempts (D2 L12).James, in particular, loves facing United, registering at least one goal involvement in each of her five WSL games against them (five goals, two assists in total).
