Chelsea 3-0 Aston Villa: Aggie Beever-Jones wants to 'give the right people
headaches'
Last updated on1 hour ago1 hour ago.

Aggie Beever-Jones and Rachel Daly
Aggie Beever-Jones has scored eight goals in 13 Women's Super League appearances
this season, having netted just twice in 18 WSL games previously
Aggie Beever-Jones hopes she has given Chelsea something to think about after
scoring in a 3-0 win over Aston Villa.

Only Lauren James has scored more for Chelsea this season than the 20-year-old
forward, who has been used mainly as an impact substitute.

"I hope to give the right people headaches and I hope to contribute to the team and
what they need," Beever-Jones told BBC Sport.

"For me, I'm just happy to help the team out and scoring is just a bonus."

Beever-Jones made only her third Women's Super League start of the campaign against
Villa, and has yet to play a full 90 minutes in the top flight this season - yet
she now has eight league goals to her name.

Former Chelsea and England midfielder Karen Carney said Beever-Jones has "every
attribute possible" and presents a selection headache for boss Emma Hayes.

"The thing she has got to develop now is that end product," Carney said on Sky
Sports. "She's got it, but she just needs to keep working on it and working on it.
I think she's got all the attributes to be one of the top players."

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer added that Beever-Jones will have given
manager Emma Hayes plenty to think about for her side's remaining fixtures.

"The fact players come in, they get the opportunity to play, they go and deliver,"
he said. "Now it's about what is Emma going to do moving forward?"

Chelsea have been through a tough recent spell, losing the League Cup final to
Arsenal at the end of March and then their FA Cup semi-final against Manchester
United last Sunday.

But they returned to form against Villa, going back to the top of the WSL, where
they now lead Manchester City on goal difference.

They remain in contention for the Champions League and face Barcelona in the semi-
finals, with the first leg in Spain on Saturday.

Beever-Jones said their cup exits are "not the Chelsea way".

"We're Chelsea and we want to win as much as we can," Beever-Jones told Sky Sports.
"Losing two titles isn't the Chelsea way and that's not how we wanted it to go this
year.

"I think it's evident how to bounce back from losses like that. We're just happy
with the three points. We've still got two titles to fight for and today was the
first step in that process."
