Lauren James Opens Season Account for Chelsea Women As Fans Make Same Joke

• Lauren James opened her season account for Chelsea Women with a brilliant goal
• The Blues beat rivals Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge to start the defence of their title
• Fans shared the same joke about the England Women's star after the goal

Lauren James picked up where she left off last season, and fans can't stop being in awe of her skills and sharing the same joke about her week in and week out.

Chelsea began the defence of their Barclays Women's Super League title with a 2-1 win over London neighbours Tottenham on a bright night at Stamford Bridge.

American forward, Mia Fishel scored on her debut with a powerful header in the first half, while James added the second shortly after the interval. Niamh Charles assisted both goals.

Head coach Emma Hayes expressed her delight to get three points to Chelsea TV but questioned their lack of defensive solidity, which nearly allowed Spurs into the game late on.

''She and Reece make it look so easy''

Her brother, Reece James, had claimed she is technically better than some Premier League players, an assertion supported by former Blues Michy Batshuayi, who said she's a better finisher than him, as reported by Mirror UK.
