Midfielder Jessie Fleming scored after 66 seconds to set Chelsea on course for a 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City in the Women's Super League on Sunday, their first win away to City in the league, that keeps them second in the table. Fleming pounced on a loose pass from keeper Karima Benameur to open the scoring, and Sam Kerr added a second in first-half stoppage time, with Fran Kirby and Magda Ericsson both scoring after the break as City's defence collapsed. - Stream ESPN FC Daily on ESPN+ (U.S. only)
