Chelsea beat Paris Saint Germain 1-0 away from home in their opening UEFA Women’s Champions League group stage game.
Emma Hayes’ side struck before the half-hour mark, as Erin Cuthbert returned a clearance from her corner back into the six-yard box and Millie Bright volleyed it home at the far post. The visitors might have increased their lead but both Sam Kerr and Pernille Harder had goal-bound efforts blocked.
The other Group A match on Thursday saw Vllaznia – the first Albanian side to reach this stage – beaten 2-0 at home by Real Madrid. The goals came in the second half from Esther Gozalez and an Olga Carmona penalty, with Madrid also hitting the woodwork four times.
