How Carpenter has become Chelsea's surprise star

Unbeaten Chelsea are top of the Women's Super League table, having only dropped points in their opening weekend draw with Aston Villa.

Carpenter has started all but one of their WSL matches and has netted four goals from a full-back or wing-back position.

In Sunday's 6-0 win at Charlton, Carpenter scored in the 13th minute, won the most tackles (three) and made the most ball recoveries (12) of any Chelsea player.

Only Khadija Shaw, Lauren Hemp and Victoria Pelova have had more touches in the opposition box than Carpenter's 56 this season.

And only Manchester City winger Hemp and Tottenham's Drew Spence have created more chances from open play in the WSL than Carpenter.
