Not to mention, James also bagged 2 hat-tricks this season against Manchester United and Liverpool FC.
👑⚽️🫡 Long Reign Queen James; after brief stints with Arsenal and Manchester United, Lauren James signed a four-year contract with the Blues back in July 2021. In her debut season with the Blues, Lauren bagged her first goal in a Chelsea kit against none other than Leicester City.

This past summer, Chelsea announced James extended her contract through 2027.

His Secret Behind the Goals
@Erling.Haaland
🤖🦿 Feed the Machine, from his diet to his sleep patter through to his post-match massage routine. Norwegian forward sensation has been described as non-human with his incredible skills paired up with unreal physical conditioning. However, there’s a system behind the madness. After all, scoring a stunning 52 goals in 52 games for his debut season with Manchester City comes as precise as you can imagine. Erling Haaland has implemented a strong regime planned to fuel his key performance.
🥛❤️🔥6,000 calories a day, in case you were wondering what Erling’s diet looks like. Haaland has kept his diet far from a secret, with revealing he seeks out meals with high protein, vitamins and minerals. These meals consist of cow’s hearts and livers. As for his side? Haaland prefers accompanying his meals with none other than a tall glass of milk mixed with spinach and kale, what he calls his “magic portion”.
Biomechanics🤝Erling, aside from a delicious meal, Erling has taken trainings to another level including mental and biomechanics. Erling provided his morning trainings cover taping his mouth every night, blue-light blocking glasses, sauna/steam room, and 5 minutes ice bathes. The science goes to show Haaland’s success on the pitch and off the pitch staying injury-free and scoring insane goals.
