"A contentious penalty gave them the lead after 31 minutes, won by Sjoeke Nüsken and converted by Sandy Baltimore, then Johanna Rytting Kaneryd nodded in a second - a marvellous looping header - before half-time. Alyssa Thompson made it three to get her first Chelsea goal on her home European debut for the club before Sam Kerr's header was turned in from virtually on the goal line by Erin Cuthbert to complete the rout."
"Paris defender Thea Greboval almost turned Aggie Beever-Jones's cross past her own goalkeeper after 20 minutes, sticking out a foot and belting the ball from six yards straight at Mylene Chavas in a botched attempt to clear. Chelsea were awarded a penalty just before the half hour. Defender Anaële Le Moguédec trod on the back of Nusken's boot as the ball dropped into the box, thought it appeared to be running away from the Blues midfielder towards the touchline."
Chelsea secured a 4-0 victory over Paris FC in the Women's Champions League, claiming their first win in the competition at the second attempt. A penalty won by Sjoeke Nüsken and converted by Sandy Baltimore opened the scoring, followed by a looping header from Johanna Rytting Kaneryd before half-time. Alyssa Thompson scored her first Chelsea goal on her home European debut, and Erin Cuthbert turned in a Sam Kerr header to complete the rout. The team had scored only twice from open play in their previous three fixtures and faced criticism after a 1-1 draw with Twente. Chelsea dominated possession and created multiple chances, forcing defensive errors from Paris.
