(Reuters) - Chelsea have condemned the online abuse directed towards England forward Lauren James following Sunday's 4-1 loss at Arsenal, the Women's Super League club said on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old escaped a straight red card for appearing to stamp on Arsenal midfielder Lia Walti in the 70th minute, five minutes before being replaced by Mia Fishel in the top-of-the-table clash at the Emirates Stadium.
