The WSL match between Chelsea and Arsenal was delayed for 30 minutes due to a sock clash.
Both teams warmed up in white socks and the Gunners were forced to rush to the Chelsea megastore to buy socks of a different color after the referee objected.
About half an hour later, they reappeared on the Stamford Bridge pitch wearing the same black socks used in Chelsea’s away kit.

Chelsea seemed unfazed by the delay and three first-half goals – one from Lauren James and a brace from Sjörk Nusken – put them in firm control situation.
