"Millie Bright had dismissed any suggestions that Chelsea were in crisis after a first league defeat in 34 games, and six goals in a comprehensive victory against Roma in their penultimate game of the Champions League group phase put those thoughts to bed. An own goal broke the fight of Roma early on, with further goals by Wieke Kaptein, Johanna Rytting Kaneryd, Sjoeke Nusken, Maika Hamano and Lucy Bronze."
"Chelsea were without the midfielder Erin Cuthbert and the centre-back Nathalie Bjorn for the visit of the Serie A side Roma. Making her first appearance since a frustrating 1-1 draw with Liverpool on 16 November, Bright returned to the starting XI for Sonia Bompastor's side after two games sat on the bench. Bright was one of six changes to the Chelsea team that lost 1-0 against Everton on Sunday."
