- Chelsea beat Roma 2-0 in the Women's Champions League at The Cherry Red Records Stadium on Wednesday 28 October 2026, extending their unbeaten start in the league phase.
- Ellie Carpenter came off the bench at half-time and squeezed home the opener six minutes after coming on.
- Kadeisha Buchanan headed in Wieke Kaptein's cross to double Chelsea's lead with just a minute of regular time remaining.
- Sonia Bompastor replaced Lauren James and Alyssa Thompson at half-time, saying the team had not performed well enough and that she wanted runners in behind.
- Melvine Malard and Sjoeke Nusken, both used from the bench, squandered big chances to seal the game earlier.
- Chelsea moved momentarily to the top of the league-phase table, with Hacken, Paris Saint-Germain and Leuven still to come in their final three league phase fixtures.
Why it matters: Chelsea have now kept three clean sheets and sit momentarily top of the league-phase table with three fixtures left, against Hacken, Paris Saint-Germain and Leuven. The 2-0 masks a finishing problem Bompastor herself flagged: her side created chances in the first half but did not convert them.
