That nod underscored the significance of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lauren-james-calm-down-lionesses-chelsea-petulance-overshadow-remarkable-talent/blt4def005f17fe70a6" target="_blank">her remarkable contributions to Chelsea's success this term.</a> With her goals propelling the Blues to victory, her side currently sits at the WSL summit and are poised to secure a fifth consecutive league triumph.
