“Yes for sure [it was nice to silence them]. But for me it’s just about focusing on what I can do and silencing anyone who is hating as well. I’ve got to focus on myself and helping the team”, said James to BBC Sport after the game.
This was James second successive hat-trick in WSL games at Stamford Bridge, as she had already done it in the 5-1 win over Liverpool in November. “I really don’t know the answer to that. I just love scoring and I try and do that as much as possible to help the team win”, said James.
“It’s always tough playing against Manchester United, but with the fans behind us at Stamford Bridge we love playing here. Our performance from the start today, you could tell everyone was up for it”, added the forward.
