Champions Chelsea moved to within a point of WSL leaders Manchester United by thrashing Leicester 6-0 at Kingsmeadow ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup final against their title rivals.

Pernille Harder scored twice and assisted Guro Reiten’s opener in the first half in her first start since her injury return to take her to four WSL goals in the last two games. Erin Cuthbert also struck before the break as Chelsea went in 4-0 up.

Lauren James and Jelena Cankovic added to Chelsea’s tally in the second half with stunning left-footed strikes to leave Leicester two points above bottom-side Reading, with two games left to play for both teams as they fight for their top-flight survival.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are breathing down Man Utd’s necks as they search to retain their WSL crown and are now just one point and one goal behind their title rivals in terms of goal difference. Emma Hayes’s side also have a game in hand which leaves them in control of their destiny.
