Chelsea set unbeaten WSL record with villa win
Aston Villa Women 0-4 Chelsea Women: Blues set record for most Women's Super League games unbeaten
Sam Kerr, Beth England, Pernille Harder and Magdalena Eriksson on target in historic victory against Aston Villa; Chelsea are top of the WSL on goal difference, going above Man Utd, and have a game in hand; Emma Hayes: "This team will go down in history, I'm certain of it"
Chelsea set a Women's Super League record of 32 matches unbeaten after beating Aston Villa 4-0.
Sam Kerr broke the deadlock in the early stages, the Australia international producing a thumping left-footed volley past Aston Villa goalkeeper Lisa Weiss.
Kerr turned provider and executed a precise cross to find striker Beth England, who headed the ball into the top corner as Chelsea doubled their lead before half-time.
In the second half, Emma Hayes' side continued from where they left off.
Pernille Harder glided a low drive into the bottom right-corner to give the Blues their third goal of the game.
Chelsea manager Hayes said after the game: "The group is growing with me, it's not like I'm here on my own. Some of us have been together three, four, five, six years and that collective wisdom is why we have more experience than most teams.
"What we are learning is to be consistent winners, we have to have consistent behaviours daily. If you come into our training environment, there's no time for a passenger and that's every day, including recovery days."
She added to Chelsea TV: "This team will go down in history, I'm certain of it. I know when you're winning a lot there's just this expectation you're going to keep doing it, but this is the best Chelsea team I've ever had".
