Gilli had felt like a lame duck since the Arnault family took over the club midway through last season, but earning promotion to Ligue 1 at the first time of asking bought him a stay of execution. It didn't last long. With fears of relegation growing, Kombouare a former lame duck turned firefighter has taken his place. Just like Gilli, Kombouare too failed to fulfil the lofty ambitions of new owners; his face didn't fit.

"This is a different scenario [to the league phase] where there's two legs to play 180 minutes," she said. "They're the first team to be at home and we play the second leg at home. So I'll have to guess their approach to the game. I think what will be important for them is to to defend really well against us."

Mayenda has made 15 appearances across all competitions for Sunderland this season, but most of them have come as a substitute. He needs to play more often at this stage of his career, and moving away from the English club could be ideal for him. He is a young player with a lot of promise, and he could develop into a quality striker with the right guidance and regular opportunities.

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.

On Sunday it took a second-half strike from distance from Keira Walsh for Tottenham to be dispatched 1-0, while Chelsea dropped points for the first time this season in drawing 1-1 with Manchester United the previous weekend.
