Rampant Chelsea thrash Leicester 9-0 as Emma Hayes' side move top of the Women's Super League in emphatic style having netted SEVEN goals in 47 minutes

Defending champions Chelsea moved to the top of the Women's Super League table with a thumping victory over Leicester at the King Power Stadium.

Emma Hayes' side have been playing catch-up against Arsenal but knew the title would be theirs if they could win all their remaining games after drawing with the Gunners last month.

They were far too good for the Foxes, running away with a 9-0 win against the 11th-placed hosts, scoring seven times in the first 47 minutes.
