Lucy Bronze sets up win over Celtic as Chelsea advance to WCL quarter-finals
Chelsea cruised into the knockout stages of the Women’s Champions League with two games to spare on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge. A comfortable 3-0 victory for last year’s semi-finalists, with first-half goals from Lucy Bronze and Wieke Kaptein, finished off with a 95th-minute penalty from Ève Périsset, saw them claim an impressive 11th victory in as many games.
It is safe to say that it has been a dream start for Chelsea under the guidance of Sonia Bompastor. Unbeaten in all competitions, they came into this game sitting atop the WSL while also leading Champions League Group B. With Real Madrid beating Twente earlier in the day, they needed just a point to progress into the quarter-finals.
