"Chelsea kickstarted their European campaign with a comfortable victory over Paris FC. Alyssa Thompson scored her first goal in west London as Sonia Bompastor's side dominated proceedings. Sandy Baltimore opened the scoring from the penalty spot while Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Erin Cuthbert also got on the scoresheet. Chelsea had endured a frustrating start to their Champions League challenge, the only trophy to elude their grasp."
"There was no reason for Chelsea not to be full of confidence ahead of this encounter. They had returned to winning ways against Tottenham at the weekend and remain unbeaten in all competitions. There has, however, been a trend of wasted opportunities that has been causing some consternation. The lack of attacking cohesion has not been helped by Bompastor's tinkering of personnel and systems."
Chelsea beat Paris FC 4-0 at Stamford Bridge, with Sandy Baltimore converting a penalty, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd and Erin Cuthbert adding goals, and Alyssa Thompson scoring her first west London goal. Chelsea had drawn 1-1 with Twente the previous week, which increased pressure ahead of the match. The team had returned to winning form after a weekend victory over Tottenham and remained unbeaten in all competitions. Chelsea dominated possession and created more chances from the start, but recurring wasted opportunities and a lack of attacking cohesion persisted amid manager Sonia Bompastor's personnel and system changes.
