The defending champions' prolific attack proved too hot to handle for on Sunday as they made it six league wins from six in 2024-25
Chelsea banished the memories of their seven-goal loss to Liverpool last season with a comfortable 3-0 win in the Women's Super League on Sunday.
More than six months on from their dramatic 4-3 WSL defeat at the same ground, the Blues seemed determined to right the wrongs from that game as they punished their dangerous opponents.
Mayra Ramirez was on hand to tap home the rebound after Johanna Rytting Kaneryd's effort cannoned off the crossbar in the 38th minute, before Guro Reiten curled in a second just before the break as she capitalised on goalkeeper Rachael Laws' poor clearance.
The Reds put the visitors under the cosh in the second half without creating that many clear-cut chances, and the west London outfit made them pay as substitute Aggie Beever-Jones added a late third from close-range.
Sonia Bompastor's free-scoring side, who have notched 23 goals in just six WSL matches, closed to within a point of league leaders Manchester City, whom they meet next Saturday in a top-of-the-table clash.
GOAL rates Chelsea's players from Totally Wicked Stadium…
Getty Images SportGoalkeeper & Defence
Hannah Hampton (7/10):
The England international's long-range passing was on point and she proved to be a safe pair of hands at the back.
Lucy Bronze (5/10):
Didn't look entirely convincing in a defensive capacity, especially with Liverpool's Smith running at her. Went off at half-time with a reported knock.
Kadeisha Buchanan (8/10):
The Canadian was physical and commanding at the back, putting in some important tackles to keep Liverpool's attack under wraps.
Millie Bright (8/10):
The Lionesses star swept up a lot of the danger that came her way in a commanding display at the back.
Sandy Baltimore (9/10):
The Frenchwoman was everywhere for Chelsea. She was a threat in attack, put in some great covering work, and is proving to be an excellent summer signing.

Erin Cuthbert (8/10):
The Scot put in a typically battling, hard-working display in the centre of the park. Was the pick of Chelsea's midfielders.
Sjoeke Nusken (7/10):
Was solid enough in midfield, but sometimes her passing let her down as the Blues didn't quite have the control they wanted in the second half.
Maika Hamano (7/10):
Frequently popped up in pockets of space in and around the box, but was also quiet for periods of the contest.

Guro Reiten (8/10):
After a quiet opening, she whipped some teasing crosses into the box and took her goal with aplomb, her sixth of the campaign in all competitions.
Mayra Ramirez (8/10):
The striker caused Liverpool's defence plenty of problems with her strength and running power, and was in the right place at the right time to give Chelsea the lead. A real presence in attack.
Johanna Rytting Kaneryd (7/10):
Was well denied by keeper Laws in the first half and then hit the crossbar not long after in a busy display for the Swede. Was less effective in the second half, though.

Ashley Lawrence (7/10):
Looked lively, especially going forward, off the bench.
Aggie Beever-Jones (7/10):
Popped up with another goal to cap off a strong away win.
Catarina Macario (7/10):
Showed good energy and drive when introduced into the game.
Wieke Kaptein (6/10):
Didn't have much time to make an impact.
Oriane Jean-Francois (N/A):
Came on in the final mintues of the game.
Sonia Bompastor (8/10):
The plan was to beat Liverpool's high-press and they effectively circumnavigated that with balls over the top and quick interplay. This was a potential banana skin for the Blues boss, but her side comfortably sidestepped any issues.
