West Ham’s Guarino endures tough start as Baltimore double seals Chelsea rout
The Story So Far
West Ham United suffered a comprehensive 5-0 defeat against Chelsea, marking a difficult start for new manager Rita Guarino. The Hammers fell behind early, conceding four times during the first half as defensive mistakes and loss of possession allowed the visitors to take control. Sandy Baltimore netted twice for the opposition, while Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson also added to the scoreline in the lopsided London derby. This result leaves the squad facing ongoing challenges in the Women’s Super League standings. Guarino now looks to address the tactical errors that hindered her team's performance during this opening fixture of her tenure.
