Aggie Beever-Jones is delighted to be off the mark this season having netted our opening goal in the 7-0 rout of Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

It was a magnificent seven scored by the Blues on Friday night as we made it two wins from two in the Women's Super League this season.

Beever-Jones set us on our way with a great strike in the 38th minute, before Lucy Bronze, Lauren James, Guro Reiten (2), Nathalie Bjorn and Catarina Macario added six more goals throughout the second half.

And having netted 11 goals in the WSL last season, finishing as our second top goal scorer behind James, the England international was thrilled to open her account in what was also her first start this campaign.

'It's always nice to get the first one,' the 21-year-old said. 'After scoring a few last season, you always want to carry that over.

'I am glad I've been able to do that and, hopefully, there are more to come. As a young player, obviously scoring, assisting and contributing to goals massively helps. It gives me a confidence boost.

'I was proud of my performance and to get a goal was just the icing on the cake.

'To have six different goal scorers, it's just nice to see people get on the score sheet and it shows the depth and quality that we have got in the squad. We're delighted with that and, hopefully, we take it into next week.'

Prior to Beever-Jones' opener, there had been plenty of chances created by Chelsea but none that found the back of the net. Despite the opportunities missed, our forward said her side always believed they would break the deadlock. And what fashion they did it in, too.

'Playing a low block team it is always hard,' Beever-Jones said. 'We could create chances, but they have so many bodies in the box.

'We knew we could get them on the transition and we were able to do that. Coming in at half-time, we realised we could exploit them and that showed in the second half, scoring six more goals.

'I'm delighted for all the girls - all the subs coming on and doing their job to help the teams - because it was a real team performance.'

With the second-half display being much more ruthless than the first, Beever-Jones said head coach Sonia Bompastor simply reminded the players at half-time to have confidence.

'Being confident was the main thing she said,' Beever-Jones added. 'And to stretch runs and open up the spaces. They were a team defending for almost the entire 90 minutes and we wanted to take advantage when they switched off.'
