"After being unexpectedly held to a draw by FC Twente in their league phase opener, the pressure was on the Blues to deliver, and Alyssa Thompson did exactly that as she scored and assisted at Stamford Bridge. Anaele Le Moguedec was harshly penalised for a challenge on Sjoeke Nusken inside the box just after the half-hour mark, allowing Sandy Baltimore to step up and confidently bury her penalty into the bottom corner, sending Mylene Chavas the wrong way."
"The floodgates began to open completely after the break as Thompson turned scorer herself, reacting sharply to Keira Walsh's deflected delivery just two minutes into the second half. Chelsea added further gloss with a scrappy fourth as a series of failed clearances inside the box from the Paris defenders opened the door for Erin Cuthbert to bundle home just past the hour mark."
Chelsea defeated Paris FC 4-0 at Stamford Bridge, overturning a sluggish Champions League start. Alyssa Thompson scored and assisted, creating the second strike for Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and converting a goal early in the second half. Sandy Baltimore opened scoring from a penalty after Anaele Le Moguedec fouled Sjoeke Nusken. Erin Cuthbert bundled home a fourth following defensive errors by Paris. Keira Walsh provided an assist for Thompson's goal and Chelsea dominated possession and chances. The win continued Chelsea's recent dominance over Paris in the Champions League and marked the club's first four-goal European match since December.
