Chelsea clinched their first triumph of the current Women’s Champions League season with a resounding victory over Paris FC at Stamford Bridge. Following a draw against Real Madrid, the Blues needed a positive outcome, and they took the lead when Sam Kerr poked the ball into the net off a threaded pass from Lauren James. However, Paris FC equalized before the half-time whistle, but Berger made up for it by denying Mathilde Bourdieu early in the second half. Two minutes later, Kerr poked another goal for the Blues, and she completed her hat-trick by chipping the ball over the goalkeeper, extending their lead. They sealed a comfortable win with Sophie Ingle’s stoppage-time volley. Chelsea is currently second in the group and they are back to winning ways in Europe.
